I'm a Naughty Blogger

I'm so sorry I haven't blogged for a while, life just takes over and takes hold! I do pop in and visit all my lovely blog friends to see how you are doing as often has I can. My illness holds me back sometimes and I don't really have much to say and you certainly do not want to hear me moan, I'm sure! I've been so tied up with family just recently and the blessed garden has started to grow now that Spring is here, so I really haven't had time for extra stuff. Now that Lonnie's birthday is over and she is coming to the end of her last year at Uni, which is a real blessing, I should have more time for me.

I was tidying up some old files on another computer and came across this lovely movie I made for my sister's 40th birthday.

The music I chose for the video is by Corinne Bailey Rae and is called 'Butterfly'. I just love the words as they say exactly how I felt towards my little sister, who is 10 years younger than me, as we were growing up in our Mother's house.

In my mother's house

There's a photograph

Of a day gone past

Always makes me laugh

There's a little girl

Wary of the world

She got much to learn

Get her fingers burned

An affinity

Between you and me

Coz we're family

Said that I'd be fine

Give me all your time

And I left your side

Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Would you give me life

Like a butterfly

In my mother's house

There was happiness

I wrapped my myself in it

Was my chrysalis

As my life unfolds

See a pattern through

Of you protecting me

And I protecting you

What was that you'd say

Make your own mistakes

And when you're grown

Make sure that you remain the same

Now I realise

What was on your mind

When I left your side

Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Give me life

Like a butterfly

Lonnie's Birthday
