Faraway Star

This song has a 'double edge' to it.

I was just turning 11 years old when it came out.  I sang it constantly for years.  It held a special meaning to the child I was. It held a dream.

Then, after I was married....the words held an entirely different meaning of confusion. And of why's.

Then, after I cradled each of my babies in my arms, I sang it to them...it held yet another meaning. Of love.

A simple song packed with mixed emotions.

I still sing it.....when no one is around.  Again...holds a dream.
