Life, Beautiful with Crooked Lines ...

Crooked Lines


When I was listening to this song, 
I was thinking of my kids.
They try (their best I hope) to solve the daunting Math questions.
They asked me why must the questions be so difficult.
Yes, sometimes so difficult that I must pre-solve them before I can teach them the questions.
They forgot about the numerous tenses and words and meanings 
that I have taught and reminded them.
Sometimes, I get more upset than them.
Especially when they cannot solve the easy questions or get their answers wrong.
What is it that I am doing wrong and they cannot understand the simplest concept ever?
I have to constantly remind myself to be patient, to try different approaches 
and to make it easier for them in their language.
And yes, when they are finally able to solve the sums and answer the questions, 
the light in their eyes is priceless.
A very meaningful song ...



my daughter tries to draw a butterfly
with her crayons and crooked lines
and she’s crying ‘cause she just can’t get it right
so i wrap her tiny hand in mine
to guide her with her heart’s design
and she smiles as her dreams take flight
perhaps it’s how it is on this labyrinth road
i just need to let Him guide my soul
God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s design
God writes straight with crooked lines
i’ve had days as dark as smoke
when it hurt too much too hope
and it felt like the pain would never end
searching for answers but finding jokes
limping along the winding road
certain He left me all alone…
when it’s hard to trust that there is a greater plan,
like a child i’ve gotta just hold His hand
‘cause God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s design
God writes straight with crooked lines
it’s hard to see the picture when you’ve got your head to the ground
but the vision is perfect from heaven looking down
there’s a reason for every detour and every scar
His mercy has always been written in the stars
God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
He turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s design
God writes straight with crooked lines 



Another song I like from this album.
Corrinne May's album is always good.
Always inspiring.
Thankful for the good and beautiful life I am leading.

Beautiful Life



Beautiful Life - Live
