mommydamaI've mentioned before that Luci is obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. Last night, when I wouldn't let her watch it, she sat down at her little table and drew, on a series of about seven sheets of blank paper, front and back, the entire story. She added random letters that she "read" to me that were descriptions of the whatever she was drawing at the time. She hummed and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" the entire time.
This is one of my favorite lullabies in the world and somehow, watching her draw last night listening to her sing, I thought of it and it brought me to tears thinking of this world she has to face...inside herself and outside.
"If I could, I would give you wings
To lift you way up in the air
So you would find the rainbow's end,
'Cause wings would get you there.
If I could, I would give you wings
To carry you out of the storm
They'd take you higher than the wind,
Where you'd be safe and warm.
If I could, I would give you wings
To lighten your heart through the years
They'd flutter soft around you then and
Dry up all your tears."
