I’LL ALWAYS LOOK UP TO YOU

I’ll always look up to you
Twelve rungs higher
On the ladder of my life
You learned to be an electrician
So you could light up my nights
Even though I’m still blinded
By the twinkle in your eyes
Undimmed as you climb
Beyond sixty five

I’ll always look up to you
You are the sun in my sky
The moon in my night
My guide as we climb the ladder
Bravely embracing time
Even though we’re advancing
I pray your love never dies
Or dims as we climb
The ladder of life

Click to join in the fun at Bastet’s Pixelventures! This week we’re looking up. Bastet says:

” Hello World…. After all the reflecting we did last week I’m looking for something that can express a happy mood…we say, things are looking up…so, let’s look up!

When I found these great photos of Mohamed installing the lighting in our verandah, I knew right away this was a perfect subject for my response to Bastet’s Let’s Look Up! Challenge. My husband and I have built a house in South Carolina from the ground up, and in Egypt, back down to the ground and all the way back up again. There is nothing he wouldn’t learn for the sake of building our house as we really want it. Mohamed was never a laborer in any sense of the word, retiring before we married, from a long happy career as a Principal of a Middle School. But lack of experience hasn’t stopped him from crawling on his hands and knees cutting trees and bushes to clear two acres of overgrown forest, preparing the land for a home and a farm. He learned to be a plumber, electrician, carpenter and painter, and I followed him every step of the way, amazed at the challenges he would undertake and overcome. I don’t know another human being I admire and respect more – I really look up to him – he’s King in my eyes! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
