I've got a wonderfully inspirational song in my head and I wanted to share it with all of you. I first heard the song sung by the a cappella group, Sweet Honey and the Rock. I discovered that it was originally composed by Keali'i Reichel. It's called "Wanting Memories".

I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me
to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me
to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.

You used to rock me in the cradle of your own arms.
You said you'd hold me till the pains of life were gone.
You said you'd comfort me in times like these-
And now i need you.
Now I need you... and you are gone.

Since you've gone and left me, There's been so little beauty-
But I know I saw it clearly through your eyes.

Now the world outside is such a cold and bitter place
Here inside I have few things that will console
And when I try to hear your voice above the storms of life
Then I remember all the things that i was told.

I think on the things that made me feel so wonderful when I was young
I think on the things that made me laugh,
Made me dance,
made me sing
I think on the things that made me grow into a being full of pride
I think on these things, for they are truth.

I thought you were gone,
But now I know you're with me
You are the voice that whispers
All I need to hear.

I know a please, a thank you and a smile will take me far
I know that I am you
and you are me
and we are one
I know that who I am
Is numbered in each grain of sand
I know that i've been blessed
Again and over again

Is there someone in your life that this describes perfectly? Tell us about them.
