Some things simply cannot pale with time, like The Sound of Music. The love, the bond, the happiness, the music are timeless. Times have changed. We have grown as have the amazing kids of Sound of Music. And of course the unforgettale Julie Andrews! As we leave our youth way behind, as the pictures of our childhood dim with each passing day, the truth of life comes dashing back…unsteady at times, on unsure feet at times, but determined to stay, even if transient..
I dared make my own version of the Sound of Music “Raindrops on Roses”.

Snatches of songs that cook up a storm
Brush with the breathless or forgotten forms
Of dreams and time bygone, memories glued with strings
These are a few of my favourite things
A cosy corner and a candle lit eve
A touch of old romance, so sweet but brief
An old tale relived for the past to usher in
These are a few of my favourite things
The love which fades beneath a tired blanket
And dreams go pale and hide behind a shade
A sudden spark brings alive my laughter unhinged
These are a few of my favourite things
When the storm abates
And the sky clears
And the birds sing a new song
My childhood beckons
And the sun too looks young
The clouds like a fairy’s paradise
That’s when I pause
And my breath comes in shorts
And I dare again dream afresh
