I love all of the lyrics, but this is my favorite part of the song:
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
I don't have children of my own (at least not the human kind!) but I'm lucky to have several wonderful nieces and nephews, and this ladder to the stars is what I wish for them. They are all grown now, but it's never too late for wishes.
Oh I love Bob Dylan. Great cover version of this song. What a great wish for the day.
ReplyDeleteWell, I love Bob Dylan, love this song. The lyrics you chose are indeed brilliant. A ladder to the stars is such a great image.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, I love this kind of music. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not a big Dylan fan, but this cover is excellent.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and inspiring - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAs a musical person I enjoyed this song by Bob Dylan. Love the post throughout,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comment.
Yvonne.

ReplyDeleteI've always loved that song and keep the wish to stay forever young. We all can because it's in our minds to see that ladder to the stars.

The song and post were beautiful. Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteHey, that's the song played on the show Parenthood.
ReplyDeleteI love this version and thanks for sharing! I think we feel as young as we act. My mom is 59 and she acts like she's 90, and as a result we're just waiting for her to break a hip. A friends mom, is 70, but is out doing yoga and acting like she's 40 and we say she's going to outlive us all.

I love Bob Dylan! I grew up listening to his music and have always been able to connect with his lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by both my blogs. I'm so happy to have you following. I'm following you back on yours. The Circle Tail sounds like a great organization!
Nice to meet you too!

Those lyrics are wonderful for so many reasons. They really struck home today, though, as my son discovered the joys of space travel from an air and space symposium here. Funny I would find this post today of all days. A wonderful wish!
ReplyDeleteHello Julie,It is very true that its never too late to live your dreams i remembered that of late and i am taking charge to make that dream a reality. Thank you for visiting my blog, i am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteLovely song and such a wonderful wish. Your nephews and nieces are lucky to have you :)
ReplyDeleteHhmmm...Dylan. What can I say? I was born and raised in his home state of Minn.
ReplyDeleteHhmmm...Sons of Anarchy. What can I say? One of our absolute favorite TV shows in this house!
The lyrics...stars and forever young? There's an old proverb: I'm as old as the hills, but I feel twice as young. I've always thought that's a good place to be.
Conclusion: Considering that I like the way you word things, how could I *not* love your post!!
P.S. I know another writer who did a post about Martha's Vineyard for the letter M. She's an "author, editor, mommy and [get this] dog whisperer!" Her site is @ http://katieosullivan.blogspot.com

@ahhsome, you are so right. I know people too who act so much older than they are, it's unfortunate. I hope I can be like your friend's mom when I am older, fingers crossed anyway.
@Amy, it's so great to meet you, and I'm glad I found your blogs. Circle Tail really is a wonderful organization!

@Kathy, great to find another Sons of Anarchy fan! My niece recommended it to me and I just loved catching up with it, can't wait for the new season in the fall. I love Katey Sagal on there!
I love that proverb too, and thank you for letting me know about Katie's blog, I am looking forward to checking it out!
