One Month Old



My little granddaughter is one month old today! I can't believe how quickly time has flown or how much a part of my life she has become. I can't imagine her not being here. She is the sweetest, most contented baby I have ever seen. She smiles now and makes her grandma so happy. I love you little one," I whisper.

Meatloaf Favourite

"I love Meatloaf, no not the meal, but the singer. His latest album, "The Monster is Loose", has my favourite of his songs (so far!). Here it is.

Alive

I'm still alive
Must've been a miracle
It's been a hell of a ride
Destination still unknown
It's a fact of life
If you make one wrong move
With a gun to your head
You better walk the line
Or you'll be left for dead

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that
you can't turn back
This time that's right I got away
with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
As long as hot blood runs
through my veins

I'm still alive
Lost in the night
Feeling so invisible
A dead man walking the wire
High above the devil's net that's made of fire
And it's a long way down from the
top of the world
You better look around
Or you're gonna get burned

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that
you can't turn back
This time,that's right I got away
with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world
come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing
on the ground
And as the dust clears look
in my eyes
I'm still alive

The darkest night ain't black enough
To keep the morning light from shining
The highest wall ain't tall enough
To keep the smallest man from climbing
The more that you resist the tide
The more it pulls you in
The more you hang on for your life

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that
you can't turn back
This time, that's right I got away with it all and I'm still alive

I'm a run away train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that
you can't turn back
This time that's right I got away
with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come
tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing
on the ground
And if my shadow's all that survives
I'm still alive

The music is fantastic", I whisper.
