The Blanket

Six year old son runs hard up the stairs to play following an even more eager older sister. But not before he asks in his most loving, small boy voice if I would write a song to sing to them on Christmas day...."as a gift," he says. Stopping for just a moment he adds,"But don't tell me the title." I think I'll call it "The Blanket" . I think it will be about love. How it comes unexpectedly... just like it did right then. Proof that a moment can be a gift.

The lyrics truly could go all over the map especially if dog and cat get in on it.....so, well....I think I'll save their moment for another day, another song!

Thanks for visiting my blog a few weeks back. :) I'd love to see the words and here the music to this song too!

Anyone still out there? I didn't write the song that I recall, but I absolutely should. Said requester is now 18 and followed sister is 20. I'm here again because I am reminiscing as one is about to leave home. Trying to catch the aroma of distant and fragrant memories.
