The Prayer

By Carole Bayer Sager/David Foster

Ho`okena CD, featuring Maila Gibson

I pray you’ll be our eyes,

and watch us where we go

And help us to be wise,

in times when we don’t know,

Let this be our prayer,

as we go our way

Lead us to a place,

guide us with your grace

To a place where we’ll be safe

I lama no makou, I pray we’ll find your light

E pa`a poli ai, and hold it in our hearts

Ke lipo mai ka po, when stars go out each night

I `ike `ia `oe, that you may be seen

I pule na makou, let this be our prayer

Ke malu mai ka la, when shadows fill our day

Alaka`i mai (offer us guidance)

E paulele e (that we may have faith)

I ka palekana mau (in safety that is everlasting)

Kahi pau o ka `eha a kaumaha

(A place where pain and sorrow are no more)

A lana ka mana`o o kanaka

(And hope is restored to the heart of man)

`Upu mau a`e (we shall always remember)

(I) ka Makua Lani (the heavenly father)

(A) huli mau Ia `oe (And always turn to you)

I ka lani la (reaching to heaven above)

We ask that life be kind,

and watch us from above

We hope each soul will find,

another soul to love

Let this be our prayer,

just like every child

Needs to find a place,

guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

I ka malu ou (in your shelter)

E paulele ai (that we may have faith)

I ka palekana mau (in safety that’s everlasting)

I was at the Post Office today when a guy walked in and said to the postal worker…..

“Do you sell stamps?”

I kid you not….this is the truth. I asked Brittany, “Did he say what I thought he said” She looked at me nodding her head yes….I could tell she too was holding in a fit of laughter.

Michele and I took our walk to the swings tonight. We went late figuring the little bratty kids would all be home sleeping. They were. But the bratty teens were there and they hogged the swings all night. So we played in the sand instead. I built a ship. She made a mound and called it a village!! My ship was way cool. It had a torpedo. Her mound (village) was kinda pathetic but she thought it was better than my ship. She said, “How many people live on your ship?” I told her “More people than live in your tiny village!” Her mound (village) was surrounded by a moat with a river leading to my ocean with my awesome ship. We bickered for a bit over who’s creation was better. We decided playing in the sand was fun and as satisfying as the swings. It got dark so we headed for home. On the way home we passed the house where the dead people live. They still live there.

When we got home we modeled the hats I bought at the dollar store today. I know you are all jealous!!

I do not know what this is. I planted it 5 years ago. It is finally blooming pretty! One year I thought I lost it to a frost. My dad said to pull it out, it is dead. Good thing I didn’t listen to him!

Today, the lady down the street pulls up to my house as I am working in my garden. She rolls down her window, says “You need to eat something. You need cheese. You need something with fat in it.”

¿¿¿

Apparently she thinks I am too skinny and it is her business to say so. Imagine if I told her what I thought about her….(Hey, Al_son, what was it you yelled into the phone when that guy pulled out in front of you???)
