the eyes of texas

The Eyes of Texas were upon us,
all the long drive home
The Eyes of Texas, on Gage's LeapPad,
was the chosen theme song

Do you know about that song, Gage?
It's a special song for all Longhorns

The Eyes of Texas sung proudly by Mom
"Mommy, that's a great song!"

(That's my boy!)

Last night Gage had a terrible cough and ended up getting sick in the middle of the night.  After the clean-up operation (including a sponge bath, new pajamas, clean sheets, etc) I laid down with him.  He was so tired, but kept coughing and sort of crying because he couldn't go to sleep.  Finally, he got quiet for a while...just when I thought he had fallen asleep he asked, in his tiny, hoarse voice, "Mommy, will you sing The Eyes of Texas?"

You caught my eye with this title, for sure!! I heard Mack Brown and Craig Way on the radio last week and I'm a bit fired up about it.

I never knew you had all of this poetry in you. I love it!!
