"White Lion - When the Children Cry"

"Little child dry your crying eyes

How can I explain the fear you feel inside

'Cause you were born into this evil world

Where man is killing man and no one knows just why

What have we become just look what we have done

All that we destroyed you must build again

 

When the children cry let them know we tried

'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

 

Little child you must show the way

To a better day for all the young

'Cause you were born for all the world to see

That we all can live with love and peace

No more presidents and all the wars will end

One united world under God

 

When the children cry let them know we tried

'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

 

What have we become just look what we have done

All that we destroyed you must build again

No more presidents and all the wars will end

One united world under God

 

When the children cry let them know we tried

When the children fight let them know it ain't right

When the children pray let them know the way

'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins"

Thinking of my nieces who left yesterday to go back home... What a wonderful time the cousins had together over the past month playing. We sure will miss them!

May the 4th! Celebrating nearly 22 years of Lego Star Wars, and nearly 44 years of Star Wars! We collected and, of course, rebuilt all of our old minifigures for this moc. Some are from the original series, with the yellow heads and everything. Star Wars will live on forever! Sorry about the picture quality. ;)

It's funny how we copy our parents behavior from an early

age. My dad also used to keep his hands in his pockets

quite often when just standing around.

 

If you know what kind of car that is in the center,

please leave a comment. It looks like a Checker to me.

Also, the newer car to the right of that... looks like a 1964 or 1965

Ford or Dodge but I can't tell for sure. Any guesses are welcome!

  

By the way... here's a photo I took with my little Kodak Instamatic 104

camera at this same birthday party just minutes before my dad took the

one above www.flickr.com/photos/wavz13/5644158119/

It must have been lovely to swing under this huge tree.

This old tree has a rope attached. If you're brave you can climb the tree and swing from the rope, plunging into the Potomac River. The water is deep and not swift. Here is Cade getting ready to jump in. Montgomery County, MD.

I can't believe this. Someone - presumably the National "Park" "Service" cut down these two old trees. They used to support a rope that was perfect for swinging into the deep water. Montgomery County, MD.

All that remains of the old rope-swing spot. Someone (the National Park Service, I presume) cut down the old trees that had been leaning over the Potomac River. Montgomery County, MD.

While exploring an abandoned house I found this old rope swing in the backyard with all it's memories locked away. I feel a responsibility to honor the secrets of a place like this, hopefully with practice I will learn how.
