A South African, married to an American, finally adapting to my adopted country. I love life, laughter, good friends and the warmth that my two kids have filled me with. I glory in the colors of my life and am grateful for the gray days as they allow me to appreciate the rainbows.

22 for a moment..........

I am not great with lyrics, remembering songs, who sings them, etc., but this song hits me everytime..............100 years to live by 5 for fighting. 100 years seems like an eternity yet time flies by in the blink of an eye. I was at a closing last week with these two young guys, both 10 years younger then me. I blinked and 10 years went by. I remember being where they are, I could so relate to so many things they were saying and doing. I did not feel older and wiser but when it came down to talking about families, relationships, life (yes it was a really long closing :) we were such worlds apart. I remember my outlook on my hubby's parents and his family and his issues with them and had no idea how much his family, his issues would become mine when we got married or how all those issues dissapeared a few years after we had kids. How one learns to forgive many transgressions when they take the kids for a night. How much can be forgiven and forgotten when family is what really counts at the end of the day. Hey we've only got 100 years to live (g-d willing).........

100 years to live
by 5 for fighting-

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
