Puff the Magic Dragon *sniff sniff*

This the first song to ever make me cry. Almost a decade later, it still makes me sad. You have to listen to it.

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Pastor Thomas Lincoln (R.I.P)

This is fresh. Raw. I can't find the words to say.
May there be quieter waters on the other shore.
And may we have the grace to Hope.

Hello World!

To be very honest, this blog is still an obscure, tiny lifeboat. I'm not getting hundreds of clicks every day. But I'm just so kicked about the few people that visit my site from around the world and actually stay around to read stuff on it. Blogging doesn't feel like a useless exercise anymore. Below, a map of my visitors from around the world. From StatCounter (highly recommended, it's beautifully simple and free!).
