CAT STEVENS CD

Maayke, my get pushed partner for the week said:
My challenge for you is to take a picture inspired by your favorite movie, song or book. Good luck!”

JACO DU TOIT 13/4/1979-30/6/2008

...You're only dancing on this earth for a short while...

My son had this cd in his car and it was his favorite at the time.
He was killed in a car crash in Mauritius.

Oh Very Young

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

I would love to share the music if you do have the time.

A beautiful and heartfelt collage, Sylvia. This must have been, and probably still is, so hard for you. All I can say is that this is a beautifully done tribute.

[vstap]

I agree with all above. Sweet tribute.

[Pyrrhula]

Zo verschrikkelijk voor U en Uw familie om je zoon te moeten verliezen. Ik kan haast geen woorden vinden om mijn oprechte deelneming over te brengen. Ik hoop dat U de moed kan vinden om dit verlies te dragen en door te gaan.
Great tribute.

[Stephanie]

I am so sorry for your loss Sylvia, your son was a very handsome young man. This is a very beautiful tribute to his memory.

Sylvia - such a beautiful collage - I think of you and the story about your son so often when I am driving around on this beautiful island.

I can't begin to imagine your feelings....

It's hard to focus as my eyes are full of tears. Your words and images moved me. I have always loved the music and lyrics of Cat Stevens. Your son was almost the same age as mine, who just married this year. So sad for you, but you surely must recall and cherish the wonder years as he grew up.
