L is for Ladder to the Stars

I recently watched the tv show Sons of Anarchy on DVD, and one of the episodes ended with a montage featuring the song Forever Young. While it is a Bob Dylan song, the version that was used was a cover by a singer named Audra Mae. I was totally taken with the song while watching the montage, and have been in love with it ever since.

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

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.
