A wedding song

I heard this great song at a Christian wedding which I went to attend today. Here are the beautiful lyrics penned by Steven Curtis Chapman.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.

SRK on KBC

Shahrukh Khan ended yesterday's KBC episode by asking "when do you know that you've become old?". His answer: "When instead of going off to sleep at 6 am you start waking up at 6 am." :))

Effect of global warming

If you were coming (by Emily Dickinson)

IF you were coming in the fall,
I ’d brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.

IF I could see you in a year,
I ’d wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.

IF only centuries delayed,
I ’d count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen’s land.

IF certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I ’d toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.

BUT now, all ignorant of the length
Of time’s uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Between yesterday and today I've gained a year. Yesterday I was 25 and today I am 26. So here are some quotations to begin the celeberations for my birthday. :)

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
