I love the 'lift up and sing' part. As a singer, and all the family grown and gone, I can sing all I want. lol

Your third paragraph is also right on...yes...where else?

I love the 'send me to sleep, and dance through my dreams'. That is it exactly isn't it?

One day, I was locking up for the night, and my brain started a scene from the locked door, grabbing a pair of scissors as I thought of the scenario of an intruder. I caught myself with the scissors and laughed. Isn't it amazing how we can get sucked into that fantasy and drama so easily? I chuckled when I read 'your format'.

If you don't mind, I'd rather call you 'magical author'. I don't think you can have only one there. lol
Thanks for sharing with us.
Merry Christmas
