I have a fantasy.
I used to say "dream" but realize it will never happen.
My family is blessed with what I don't have:
beautiful singing voices that fill a room with their richness and vibrato.
Regardless, my youngest child loves me to hold and sing him to sleep.
Sometimes, reality is better than fantasy.

Below is my son with a St. Patrick's Day treat. Flogging Molly is a seven-piece Irish-American Celtic punk band. My son loves the band and has been singing this song for years. Happy St. Patrick's Day! My son has his own writing and poetry blog "HERE". Lyrics are under the You-Tube video.In the
Laura
Feel the words from my lips
To your harsh finger tips
Then you know where I come from
Cause I know, yes I know
Cause I lost everything I had
See, I could have danced on the sun
But my world came undone
Laura!!!!!!
There's no need for tears
Cause there's no need to cry
The love that you leave
Will never be denied
This pain in my head escaped from my heart
No woman alive can touch who you were
So bye bye, Laura
Cause no one could take your place
Bye bye Laura
Your beauty will never fade
The seed that you've sewn
Will reach for the sky
This love that you leave
Will never be denied
And after this song, her spirit lives on
Though you're not around you'll never be gone
So bye bye Laura
Cause no one can take your place
Bye bye Laura
Your beauty will never fade
Well I... I could have danced on the sun
But the world came undone
Laura
Yeah I... I could have danced on the sun
But my world came undone
So Bye Bye Laura
Bye Bye Laura
So bye bye, Laura
Bye bye Laura
This pain in my head escaped from my heart
No woman alive could touch who you were
So bye bye Laura
Cause no one could take your place
Bye bye Laura
Your beauty will never fade
So bye bye Laura
Cause no one can take your place
Bye bye Laura
Your beauty will never fade
FADE!
