Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again
Chorus:
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again
Chorus
Didn't we have the beat of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end

'Rise Above'
........Rise above! That was the in-house mantra. The kids mimicked Amal time and time again, lifting their chubby arms up slowly as they had seen their mother do so many times. Can't finish your homework?...Riiiise above. Angry cos brother grabbed your water colours?.....Riiiiise above. My,my! Oprah would be proud. She loved watching them. Even when they were doing nothing, no sight was more pleasing to her eyes.
As she drew the curtain on him in her heart, she couldn't help but wonder what his thoughts were.
She put on her glasses and began to google beach hotels in Ghana, her mind set on having a swell time with her children.

Closure
Closure...........
That's what shrinks call shutting away a significant part of your life. Did you ever wonder who shrinks see when they have issues? Do they visit other shrinks or do they just roam around feeling superior while their grey cells continue to diminish? Remember that old saying 'it takes one to know one?' Closure my foot!
You can never shut out memories...ooops ok, you can..it's called amnesia and Amal was sure she didn't have that. Maybe MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder). Cos they (shrinks) say when you're one person, you have no recollection whatsoever of your alter ego...what do they know?
Amal was sure she was sane. Although she couldn't forget, she was sure she was moving on. It didn't hurt anymore. Life would go on. She had promised the kids some time away and was thinking of her purse after a money guzzling project that took forever to complete. Their last trip together was chaos personified. It had to be somewhere she could afford to take the nanny too. She would forget him in Ghana, frolicking on the beach with the kids. YES!
Her mind drifted to a subject far more dear to her than anyone could ever be. Her lovely children. She constantly thanked God for them. Her raison d'etre. On this particular night, she felt a great need for comfort that was constant. She went to the children's room and said a silent prayer for them like she did every night while they were sleeping, only this time, she didn't turn out the light and close the door quietly behind her.She crawled into her Baby's bed and pulled her close. The scent of Johnson's podwer filled her nostrils as she snuggled closer. Baby stirred and Amal cooed her back to sleep.For the first time in a long time, Amal slept peacefully through the night.
The next days before the holiday saw a new Amal emerge. Feeling willful and rebellious, she charged across the office smirking at every man in sight and feeling very haughty and grabbing every opportunity to run them down.It was the dawn of a new Amal.She was tough and needed to show it. To whom in particular was the big question. She could have been wearing armour and carrying a shield for all they cared. No one noticed and it was evident that the amazon was in a jungle of her own, Amal cooled off.

Intro
Not sure how this works, but will give it my best shot.
This blog is up because I need to share my music with people who agree that music has no era, age or time. It is this timelessness that makes it the best therapy ever. My mood tells me what to listen to. Try out CAT STEVENS - THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST. This was way before I was born but it just lives on.....
