Following on from my earlier entry today and as the wind is now shrieking around our little home, I just had to add this which was sent to me by a friend who reads my journal. I have been trying to persuade her to start one of her own because I just know it would be good. Anyway, she liked the poems I posted about the wind and she very kindly sent me an mp3 file. A song by Charlie Landsborough and she also typed up the words for me and gave me permission to use them on my journal if I wished.
The song is beautiful and really touched my heart. It concerns a little blind boy talking to his father.
What colour is the wind, Daddy ?
Is it yellow, red or blue ?
When he's playing with my hair, Daddy
Does he do the same to you ?
When he's dying does his colour fade
Is a gentle breeze a lighter shade
Just like his friend the sea
The wind feels blue to me
-------
When the blackbird starts to sing, Daddy
Do the flowers hear him, too
When he's pouring out his heart, Daddy
Tell me, what do roses do
Do they cast their scent upon the air
And is fragrance just a rose in prayer
Giving thanks to God above
For the blackbird's song of love
-------
Blow, wind, blow
Wild and free
My Daddy says
You're a lot like me
I know each colour
Its shape and size
I've seen them all
With my Daddy's eyes
-------
I know that grass is green, Daddy
I've touched it with my toes
And snow is purest white, Daddy
I've felt it with my nose
But my favorite colour has to be
The colour of your love for me
And Daddy, I've been told
That love is always gold
