Someone To Watch Over Me
by George and Ira Gershwin
There's a saying old, says that love is blind.
Still we're often told, see, and ye shall find.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had...in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet.
He's the big affair I cannot forget.
Only man I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initials to my monogram.
Tell me where is the shepherd for this, lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood, I know I could always be good...
to one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
to my heart he carries the key.
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed follow my lead,
oh, how I need someone to watch over me.

Sometimes things just can't be expressed better than how someone has put it in a song. The Gershwins especially speak to me on personal level. So, I don't know if it's just the springtime air or what but I seem to be surrounded lately by people in love, or just starting to date...or good friends finding out that they're finally pregnant (yay for them!). I've learned to be mostly okay with this whole 'have not ever dated' thing, but sometimes...I just want someone to watch over me. That's all.

This makes me kind of ache. I certainly understand how you feel. And remember you do have someone to watch over you... the best Bridegroom of all!
Love you, my sister!
even as I wrote the post I heard that still small voice going-I'm here for you. I'm watching over you. I am very blessed and in awe of His love. =) Love you kelli! =)
