kites

Little sister just remember As you wander through the blue The little kite that you sent flying On a sunny afternoon Made of something light as nothing Made of joy that matters too How the little dreams we dream Are all we can really do In the middle of the night The world turns with all of it's might A little diamond colored blue In the middle of the night We keep sending little kites Until a little light gets through  "...will there be someone to remember a little place that we loved how the music played all night and day through the windows up above how the birds sang in the morning how the dog barked in the yard i guess that's nothing much but everything to us and that's what seems so hard" both excerpts from songs 

by Patty Griffin "Kite" and "Dear Old Friend"
