We’ve all got something to say
About the memories from which we were made
The pieces of time and space
Spread out before us in eternity
And I used to count stars
Back when I still believed you could count them all
Those parts of me, the people the places, the dreams and the failures
Remembered only in my heart for what they were
These things, seen by the masses as every day
Can become, in an individual soul, the essence of who they are.
And that’s why I can’t stop looking at these parts
The simple and the strong, the short and the long
Mundane and colorful, the memories
The stars, counted once, counted twice, and thousands more.
Seen by all
From their own corner of the world.

Beautiful!
Yesterday I wanted to call my great-grandmother. She passed away 8 years ago - but I just really wanted to give her a phone call. Since I couldn't, I sat and thought through the memories. Thanks.
This really should be a song. Why not send it to Sara Groves? (Actually, I would send it to her husband.)
