Lady

When I was driving in my car today, I was scanning the stations for a good sing-a-long song (singing is also helpful in finding one's voice), and I stumbled on this one:

Look around you, look up here
Take time to make time
Make time to be there
Look around, be a part
Feel for the winter
But don't have a cold heart

(Not an easy one for those of us living in Wisco and dealing with the coldest winter in 30 plus years!)

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you
You're there when I need
I'm gonna need you

A long time ago
I had a lady to love
She made me think of things
I never thought of
Now she's gone and I'm on my own
A love song has come into my mind
A love song
It was there all the time

So lady
Let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor
Making me want you somehow
Oh lady
I think it's only fair
I should say to you
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you
'Cause maybe I do

Those last couple lines are my favorite in the song, and when I belted them out today, I chose to both hear them and sing them as an affirmation that though being in the world has not felt comfortable lately, there is a place for me here somewhere, a place where I'll be not only comfortable but thriving:

Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you
Lady I do

Thanks Universe!
