Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and dream of what I need



I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life



Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood



I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Good folks, spring is in the air and it's wonderful, isn't it? Passed by a Florist Shop the other day and got a peek at my favorite flower...

Stargazer Lily...hummmm, smells good.

So tell me dear friends, what are your favorites? If I had a million dollars I would send bunches and bunches to you all.

It's Saturday...the family is starting to gather for the funeral...and I'm thinking about my brother-in-law and what a wonderful guy he was. Thank you all for your caring and support. Got a bit of time so I'll see ya all out in the stream...

Sad day for the family. My dear brother-in-law passed away. Very sad for he was a wonderful, caring man. The world is at a loss without him. I was happy that I was here with my children to help them through the process of losing a loved one.

As I said in an earlier post my brother-in-law was so dear to me. I still refer to him as my brother-in-law for even though his brother divorced me, he didn't. Soon after the separation this dear man and his family came to visit the kids and I. He came to show and tell us that we were still part of the family. I remember this so clearly because it was right after I'd come into consciousness...finally came out of my emotional coma. I was finally aware of my life and my emotions and here, this wonder man and his family demonstrated love to my family and I. It couldn't have had a better present upon my awaking.

My brother-in-law was a member of the Bahai Faith, as am I. Bahais believe that after death, the soul leaves the physical body and world behind for a spiritual one. This spiritual world does not necessarily contain a Heaven or a Hell. Instead, Heaven is being near God, while Hell is being farther away. Right now he is very near to God.

I'll be posting a few more songs and quotes tonight in an effort to get all of that Steve stuff out of sight. He never called but right now other things are taking precedent over my broken heart...I called his mom and she said that he went to court and that all went well...so that's that.

Thank you all for once again talking me off the edge the past couple of days. I love each and everyone of you so much. Take care my friends and I'll see you guys soon.

Best of What's Around
by The Dave Matthews Band

Hey, my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind

See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the Best of What's Around

Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around

And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
She ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is...

Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a better road I feel
So you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
