Definitely past its best...

.... much like me. 27 years ago I was in the process of giving birth to #1 daughter, who is still looking pretty good, but then she hasn't had kids yet - she herself was responsible for my first grey hair when she fell and broke her arm at nursery at 14 months old... Oh, to be young again, though with the benefit of hindsight.

Happy birthday Amy; I love you.

Africa is a lovely purple today.


Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
And though your dreams may toss
And turn you now.
They will vanish away -
Like your Daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last.
Forever you know he never will
(You know he never will)
And the patches
Make the goodbye harder still.

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance
To change your mind
And if you want this world
To see (a better day)
Will you carry
The words of love with you
Will you ride
The great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last.
Forever you know you never will
(You know you never will)
And the goodbye
Makes the journey harder still.

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time.
