I found this song not to long after my Grandpa died. It always reminds me of him. There have been so many days, I know looking back on them at the end of his life could play out like this. Theres alot of frightening times, but also, there were moments that "polished like a golden bowl, the finest ever seen."
I also feel that these other lines hit me hard:
" and there were days I know
when all we ever wanted
was to learn and love and grow
Once we grew into our shoes
we told them where to go
Walked halfway around the world
on promise of the glow
Stood upon a mountain top
Walked barefoot in the snow
Gave the best we had to give
How much we'll never know we'll never know"
I feel those lines in my own life, it speaks so innocently, so directly of how small we were, just growing in our shoes, to conquering a mountain.... those are those moments that shine in your mind's eye as your points of pride.....
