A Song

This is a beautiful song I wanted to share with you all. It's by Allman Brown.  I haven't listened to his other music, but this song, Sons and Daughters, has beautiful words and music. 

It so beautifully captures a relationship in which man and woman are offering different values. And together both of them are silently praying for sons and daughters some day. Gloriously poetic. 




And I, will hold you tight, like the moon in the arms of the sky
And I, will keep you warm, I will build a fire in this house

And I'll build a fire, you fetch the water and I'll lay the table
and in our hearts, we still pray for sons and daughters
and all those evenings out in the garden, red,red,wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And I, I'll wrap myself around your heart I'll be the walls of his heart
And I, I'll keep light on, to call you back home

And I'll build a fire, you fetch the water and I'll lay the table
and in our hearts, we still pray for sons and daughters
and all those evenings out in the garden, red,red,wine
These quiet hours turning to years

And it's all to come for now we're still young
just building our kingdom but it's all to come

And I'll build a fire, you fetch the water and I'll lay the table
and in our hearts, we still pray for sons and daughters
and all those evenings out in the garden, red,red,wine
These quiet hours turning to years

It's all to come for now we're still young


Have a wonderful weekend!

thredUP Finds!



Hello! I wanted to share some recent finds from a new delightful discovery of mine--thredUP.com! I got interested in it after hearing about it on Erica Lea's blog, ericalea.com (you should check that out, too!) But I digress.
