Spinnin’, laughin’, dancin’
To her favorite song
A little girl
With nothin’ wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open always hopin’
For the sun
And she’ll sing her song
To anyone that comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallen to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile
On her face
Tells a tale of Grace
That’s all her own
-taken from Nora Jones’ album
That’s Gracie’s song. Especially the part about grace (those were my caps, btw). I think there’s a double meaning in that—God’s grace and her. She certainly does have a grace that’s all her own. And she likes to sing to us, too. Dad always says Jesus has a special place in His heart for children like her. (She has Down Syndrome, for those of you who don’t know.)
You’d almost think that song was written just for her…
gonna have to snag that album… for sure…
i’ve heard about her from your sisters…she sounds like a joy!
can you imagine what it would be like if xanga underlined all the words that we spelled wrong, etc, like microsoft word does…we’d have red underlines everywhere!
well, you might not…but i would
How beautiful! All of Gods little children are amazing, but it does seem he gives something extra to the special ones.
Good stuff…enjoy reading…keep it up.
