From the second you arrive either clinical delivery suite
Or cosily at home or even a paddy field
That first embrace with mother or father, Gaia enfolds them all .

Its Sunday and time for Jim Adams to give us a prompt for Song Lyric Sunday this week November 14, 2021 it’s Birth, Death, Life.
Well if you’ve read my blog for any length of time you may of noticed I really love and respect Imogen Heap as a singer, songwriter and musician.
Imogen’s partner is Michael Lebor, a British film maker. In 2014 they had a baby girl Florance, Scout, Rosie, Heap-Lebor..Imogen wrote a fantastic song about Scouts birth and how hard she found being a new mother. She said that she and Micheal thought the were ready and prepared for parenthood, they were not.
What I love about this song and her admittion that for all her money, fame and well of help she found it hard and that made being able to love her new baby hard. I knew this feeling and could remember being scared and alone and not able cope with this Tiny Human that was solely dependant on me! Like most of us Immie got there and Scout must be seven years old now….
“Tiny Human”
Oh my tiny human
At 05:08 you break me apart again
The space-time continuum
Buckles and bends around your every twist and turn
I can barely remember life before
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
Blind me like the dawn
After ashes fell on Pompeii
Crazy beautiful you
A miracle, a mystery
And one short stop away
From joy to misery
When the night becomes day
I give you my every last ounce
You make a pin-cushion out of me
And you can thank me later, babe (if I’m alive)
How long can one live without sleep?
Still I can’t stand to imagine
Life without…
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
Blind me like the dawn
After ashes fell on Pompeii
Crazy bright beautiful you
Suddenly propelled
So many light years from bliss
And completely unprepared
How can anyone deserve this?
I’ve tried, I’ve tried all the tricks in the book, I’m at my wits end
Now look here what do you want from me!?
I can barely remember life before…
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
From the ashes of Pompeii
To fireworks and champagne
Crazy beautiful you
You little devil, you
Oh I love you so much
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done
But you’re so worth it
Yes you are
Yes you are
You little devil, you.
“Daniel” is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best-selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7″ vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself.
To me this song is a out the death of a young man or the death of a relationship….either way it reaks of death to me.
Lyrics
Daniel when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under our blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We’ll never be apart
And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Crying took me to the darkest place
And you have set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s vast, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel, I dream of home
But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our love the tears crept
Just catch in the eye of the storm
And as my heart ran round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again, for home again
When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s vast, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel, I dream of home
When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s vast, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel, I dream of home

In 1975 I had two of our boys , one nearly two the other new born, we lived on a new housing estate having only recently arrived there so I knew no one, I didn’t drive, as with our previous house I was miles from anywhere. Hubby was away for days on end and when he was working in London he was off early and home very late from work. I was lonely but I had music and 10cc where a big favourite of mine!
“Life Is a Minestrone” is a 1975 song by 10cc released as a lead single from their third album, The Original Soundtrack.
The track was written after Lol Creme and Eric Stewart were driving home from Strawberry Studios and a BBC Radio presenter said something that they only partly heard, but which Creme interpreted as “life is a minestrone”. Stewart and Creme believed the phrase to be a good title for a song on the grounds that life is, according to Stewart in a BBC Radio Wales interview, “a mixture of everything we pile in there”. They had the song written in a day.
So, there we have it Birth, Death,Life.
Oh! Incase you think I cheated with Death represented by Daniel here is Death on Two Legs, on of my favourite Queen tracks. Let’s let Queen explain
Happy SUNDAY EVERYONE đź’ś.

Like Dice
Altered carbon and stardust we
Play along the vast universe
Then,thrown like dice it is a curse.
Untethered by mortality
We glide about the galaxy.
Waiting patiently to be called
To join race and be enthralled.
Spiralling down we fall to earth
With pain we experience birth.
To start anew until recalled.

Today not long after her Birth we visited the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier . She, all ships are referred to as she, was in her Berth at Portsmouth Naval Docks.
She is huge!
Here she is in the same photo as Admiral Nelson’s ship Victory.
A hazy view of here across the water to the right of the Spinnaker taken from Porchester Castle.
Why are ships called she?
Sailors like to think of their boats as female. They, the ships, take care of thrm and they, the sailors do work for them. Women sailors, seem to like the idea of their vessels as female.

That tormentor Sacha Black has set us an almost impossible task this week . Our theme is Backwards. BUT, in addition to that, Sacha wants us to write our story backwards…!
So this is my entry, Backwards Birth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Backwards he landed in the midwife’s hands. The light hit his eyes as he escaped the tight dark channel. The struggling went on for hours he felt that he just had to move or choke. He awoke from his sleep to find his safe place was actually trying to push him out.

I have become a Grandma , OH! what can I say
A miricle has happend  a new generation born today.
Of  my blood’s blood is  born a boy
A beautiful ,wonderful  bundle of joy
My  boy has  come of age he has become a man
There are not words enough to say how happy I am.
Today our son and his wife have given us the most precious gift, new life. The little Newbie I have spoken of for the last nine months.
There are not words special enough to express how happy  and grateful that we feel.
Thank you all for baring  with me. I have one piece  of advice for them , words I hope I have fullfilled.Â

He  burned  bright  he burned high
His  arrival en-blazoned  in the sky.
He had but  a short time on this earth
For  some  reason  he decided mankind  had worth
She  was  modest she was pure
All who knew her of  this were sure.
She  was gentle and she was fair
Where ere she walk  goodness filled  the air
The quiet  young man at  her  side
Had  believed her  when she  had cried.
The  stranger  who  he  had met on his way
Had  convinced him of her truth that day.
To Nazareth for the census count
The girl pregnant with a donkey  for her mount.
In  those  days  you not ring  ahead
So not one inn had  for them a bed.
Finally  as her time grew near
An innkeeper  took pity on Our lady  dear.
No room  but  the stable dark  and damp
His  wife  found  blankets and a lamp.
I wander if the good wife  stayed
To  help  help the tired  and frightened maid
I’d  like to think  so, so  the young  couple  were not alone
For it would of been very  scary unaided  so far from home.
There was love and magic and light from somewhere, all around
Birth though a natural act is tough but somehow in it a miracle can  be found.
The light  draws people in  to see the new born child
There in a manger swaddled  tight,  loved  by  his mother mild.
He  burned  bright  he burned high
His  arrival en-blazoned  in the sky.
He had but  a short time on this earth
For  some  reason  he decided mankind  had worth
A mixed bag
