Colors Of The Wind
Song by Vanessa Williams

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Cupid
Song by Sam Cooke

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me, for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now I don’t mean to bother you but I’m in distress
There’s danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn’t know I exist
And this you can fix, so
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now, Cupid if your arrow make a love storm for me
I promise I will love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will, so
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now, Cupid, don’t you hear me
Calling you? I need ya
Cupid help me, I need ya

Wonderful World
Song by Sam Cooke

Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don’t know much about geography
Don’t know much trigonometry
Don’t know much about algebra
Don’t know what a slide rule is for
But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
Now I don’t claim to be an A student
But I’m trying to be
For may be by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me
Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
La-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta (history)
Hmm-mmm (biology)
Well, la-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta (science book)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (French I took), yeah
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

You Send Me
Song by Sam Cooke

Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest, you do, honest, you do
Honest, you do, whoa
You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling, you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest, you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But, woo, it’s lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home, whoa
You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I’m with you
I know, I know, I know when I’m near you
Mm hmm, mmm hmm, honest, you do, honest, you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa, whenever you kiss me
Mm hmm, mm hmm, honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But, woo, it’s lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know you send me
I know you send me
Whoa, you, you, you, you send me
Honest you do

Sam Cooke Lyrics
“A Change Is Gonna Come”

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and just like the river I’ve been running ever since

It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes, it will

It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die
‘Cause I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky

It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes, it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around

It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes, it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me please”
But he winds up knockin’ me
Back down on my knees

There’ve been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on

It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes, it will

Club Sheba just because I can Edition. LOL!

Very happy looking Dog.

Sheba, Hello, wow what happened? I am back in for now thanks to Pookies instructions.
I have missed everyone!
Anyways, sorry to hear you slipped and fell on the ice. It must have been scary and hurt.
The new trail is working well and a bit safer. It’s been a bit muddy and slippery but not too bad.
We did not get as much rain as other areas but did get rain and this meant hubs found a little leak. Not sure I would have noticed it.
The Covid is over and done and I started testing negative about a week ago. Now I am in disinfecting mode.
Great to see you posting and hope your head feels better soon.

Sheba, Mr. Shebadaus did a fabulous job gifting you this set. Wear it in good health and happiness!

Yes, this Community section is still messed up. Like Pookie said, first signed in with the old password which took me back to Community but it still shows sign in. Tried again with new password and seemed to work. If I changed the password, why is the old one still coming up? Guess this may be hit or miss for a while.😏😣😝

Hockey team is doing lousy. I was supposed to go to the game tonight but haven’t felt good for a couple days so my husband is taking his friend. Best place for me is on the couch with a blanket.😌 Making some soup for dinner. Mom and sis are fine, starting to get things together for their trip.

Weather was cold a week or so ago but today it is in the 60s. Dropping some over the weekend but not brutally cold.🥶 Stay warm, sending hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

I am thankful that you are OK and that the men in your life were around when danger hit. I do not mind the snow, but ice storms do bother me. House in Ct. faces North, so when there is a melt, I need to be extra careful of the front steps and the sidewalk. This area becomes an ice skating rink and hope that the grass area is safe. Thankfully, you are on the mend.

I am using some time on the computer doing research. Hubby will be coming home. The WHEN is the iffy part. I am looking at the Hoverround which can be used outdoors as well as indoors. It will enable hubby to move around and the best part, the chair lifts up so he will be able to use the stove top and pull some edibles from the frig. Looking at this led me to another thing. An electric chairlift that is not only portable but can go into a tub or shower. Everything is waterproof including the remote. I just wish I knew about this thing at the time hubby was falling out of bed. It goes flat to the floor. All a person needs to do is either crawl or roll or shimmy to the seat. Person takes the remote and the seat can go from floor to 21.” I am finding all kinds of things that we can use. The seat comes fully assembled. All one needs to do is install the remote at the back of the lift. That’s it. I don’t think this will help hubby get in and out of a tub. However, it may come in handy for the shower. Or, the wheelchair can work for this as well. The one thing I do like is that hubby will still be independent. With the chair lift he will be able to get in and out of bed on his own. sit in a chair or sofa. I have also learned that there are ways for the handicapped to get in and our of a vehicle. My only question thus far are the stairs inside the raised ranch. I am thinking of an elevator chairlift. I will be looking at all different things in the next couple of months. Best of all, hubby, loves the ideas and returning home is no longer a question, but when. Right now he is receiving physical therapy. They are following the 2nd physician’s recommendation. In hubby’s case, plateau, cannot happen. The best outcome will be standing on the good leg and using the other as a helper. Walking may never happen, but knowing that there are things out there that can help is putting our minds in a different place. The new words in our vocabulary is “CAN DO.” It’s hard work, but the end can be so rewarding. Either way, we are prepared.

The name’s Patrick. Playoff Patrick.
