I worked today, it was rather loverly to be honest. I am feeling ultra spiritual today. I came home from work and popped in my "Christian mix" CD and have been jamming out with my kids in the living room. There is this one song in particular that always gets me. It's a FIF song and I know all of you will either, A) Not know who the heck they are or B) Make fun of me for liking them. It's called Dandelions and it makes me cry every single time I hear it. For the last 5 years, everytime this stupid song is played around me, it makes me cry like a little baby. I just thought I would share the lyrics of this song. I know, it's kind of lame when people just post lyrics, but kindly read these all the way through, they mean a lot to me.

Dandelions
by Five Iron Frenzy

In a field of yellow flowers,
underneath the sun,
bluest eyes that spark with lightning,
boy with shoes undone.
He is young, so full of hope,
reveling in tiny dreams,
filling up, his arms with flowers,
right for giving any queen.

Running to her beaming bright,
while cradling his prize.
A flickering of yellow light,
within his mother's eyes.
She holds them to her heart,
keeping them where they'll be safe,
clasped within her very marrow,
dandelions in a vase.

She sees love, where anyone else would see weeds.
all hope is found.
Here is everything he needs.

Fathomless your endless mercy,
weight I could not lift.
Where do I fit in this puzzle,
what good are these gifts?
Not a martyr, or a saint,
scarcely can I struggle through.
All that I have ever wanted,
was to give my best to you.

Lord, search my heart,
create in me something clean.
Dandelions
you see flowers in these weeds.

Gently lifting hands to heaven,
softened by the sweetest hush,
a Father sings over his children,
loving them so very much.
More than words could warrant,
deeper than the darkest blue,
more than sacrifice could merit,
Lord, I give my heart to you.

I am grateful for:
Dandelions ( I got one from Hollie today *tear*)
Siblings,
Second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances,
Unconditional love,
My talents,
fake flowers,
The innocence of my children's prayers,
Old Navy's incredible sale they had going on today.
