You Are Flexible and Easy Going |
 You're the type of person who can get along with anyone. Like mashed potatoes, you mesh well with stronger personalities. In fact, you tend to prefer to hang with those who steal the spotlight.

When angels fly
When angels fly
I will close my eyes
In the crisp morning air
in the light of the sunrise
And around me I'll feel
the mountain breeze chill
and consciousness show
I'm alive and I'm real
I will close my eyes
In the crisp morning air
in the light of the sunrise
And around me I'll feel
the mountain breeze chill
and consciousness show
I'm alive and I'm real

Star Crossed
I met you in the darkness,
on a night we could not see
I knew you had
no memories of me
But I remember you
from another place and time
and how your memory
lights up my mind.
And I know you will forget
as you always have before
I'm just a thought in passing
nothing more.
To me you are worth loving
most precious and divine.
I am your star crossed lover
but you were never mine.
Here is where I met you that night

Acceptance of feelings in older people
Love and crushes and all the silly stuff that goes with them, do not just happen to young people.
They are just not likely to be acceptable to society when they happen to old people.
Dueling Pipers
I don't really agree with the practice of competing for attention this way, but I'm glad the young lady involved seemed to understand that picking either one meant losing association with the other one. Exclusive relationships make a mess of society and family life. So do nonexclusive relationships. Can't there be a happy medium?
Nearer My God to Thee (for 9 cellos) - ThePianoGuys
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee! There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
