ELWOOD

ELWOOD
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, enjoy every hour
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, be earth's great brother
Go away discover all that's new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with dolphins and starfish
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, take care of the planet
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You have the greatest of parents
You will thrive in their home with the tides

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from any trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

On Elwood
There are no words to describe the overwhelming flood of emotions I feel when I look at my son holding his son. Was it that long ago that Joe and I held a newborn Conor in our arms and marveled at every sound and expression he emitted. He entertained us all day long and we patiently watched him nap waiting for him to wake up and mesmerize us with his smiles and squeaks! And all of sudden the years flew by and before we knew it Conor grew into this handsome, smart, athletic, loving sailor and steward of the planet! He fell in love with a beautiful, smart, athletic, loving mermaid and stewardess of the planet and when such awesome hearts collide a star-fish is born!  I am swimming in an ocean of joy!

This will be my all time favorite picture of 5 & 1/2 lb EW
swallowed in his car seat for his ride home. Yes, go ahead, laugh at his
long skinny legs and seemingly big feet.
Soon he will be swimming with the dolphins, forever free from trouble and worry,
among the wildflowers & forever close to me!
