Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say that you are in my heart.

           Oh Doll, you remembered  me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal

Dreary day.
Drizzle ... song birds looking for a dry spot.

Cats have checked the windows.
Resigned themselves to a morning nap.

Have a tune for you today, an oldie ...  enjoy.

Link: Skylark: Wildflower

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence, in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild

And if by chance I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
But if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear and so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say hello.

           You remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal

You called 'em tunes, not songs or music.
Tunes.   Funny way of putting it.
From Led Zeppelin to country ... eclectic.

You could listen to Toby Keith all day.
Get in your car, crank up the volume
and just rock out. 

Pitter patter of your hands on the steering wheel
as you followed along with the "tune."

Have one of your favorites today ... enjoy.

Link: Toby Keith: You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This

I've got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time

There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say that you are in my heart and on my mind.

            Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal, Los Angeles Dodgers

Yesterday there was horrific news.
A nutjob walked into an elementary school in Connecticut
and systematically executed 20 young children.

What kind of monsters is this society creating?

Are there no limits to the insanity?
A rant is pointless.

How do you speak of 20 young children slaughtered?
There are no words ... there are no words.

There is evil in the world.
There must be goodness too.

Just not yesterday in Connecticut.

Have a tune for you this morning ...
One of hope, kindness and understanding ... Enjoy.

Glen Campbell: Try a Little Kindness

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Dear Beverly

On this day you are in my heart and on my mind.

            Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal

Kindness.
Tenderness.
Love.
Caring. 

Simple things; easy concepts.
Why is it, for some, so hard?

A tune to begin your day.
A word of encouragement. 
"You are loved."
"You are not alone."

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Gary Allan: Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)

I saw you standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, just keep spinning down, 'round, down…

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
Walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna run out of pain
It's gonna run out of sting
It's gonna leave you alone
It's gonna set you free
Set you free

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
It's gonna set you free

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal

Rainy day.
Dark and cold.
A melancholy day.

Have a tune for you today ... says so much.

Willie Nelson: Sweet Memories

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories

Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories

Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

Dear Beverly


Just stopped in to say hello.

          You remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal, Paul Williams: Evergreen


Love.
They write books, sonnets and movies about it.
They call it Romance.

But I would think that love,
true love, transcends that.
It is more than “romance.”

Love, unconditional love, is where you
see the dings, the faults and the flaws,
but it just doesn’t matter.
That love lives within your heart.

No one is perfect …
you’ll never find that person.
Life passes too quickly for such a quest.
So celebrate the virtues within their faults.

There is this gift of love, I think,
that lives within each of us.
The warmth of that love when another
human being becomes a part of you.

It is jubilation.  It is a connection.
Some are able to find it in many.
Some refuse to look for it; to see it. 
Sad for them.

It is more than “romance,”
This love is life itself.
Love.

Have a tune for you today …
From one of my favorite songsmiths, enjoy.


Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
It was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us 'cause we have is the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and the midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of
One love ageless and ever evergreen

             Hi Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Beverly Ann Kegley Carvajal, Ralph Tribbey

Not inspired with anything in particular today.
Miss you.

Miss starting your day with a tune.
Miss starting your day with words of encouragement.
Miss so much ... the smile, the funny way you had with saying things.

Have a tune for you today ... "you are not alone," I wish you could have heard that loud and clear.

Jerrod Niemann: Only God Could Love You More

The things you say
They hit me with a right sometimes
Hit me with a left sometimes
But I'm still standing
For us
You make me wanna dream sometimes
Make me wanna scream sometimes
I'd never give you up

So know you are not alone
I am in this too, this is us
This is me and you
So go, turn and walk out that door
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Just know only God could love you more
Than I do

I know
We take it to the limit sometimes
Our friends get caught up in it sometimes
But can you tell me who goes
The gooder it gets sometimes
To wish we never met sometimes
I'm not understanding

So know you are not alone
I am in this too, this is us
This is me and you
So go, turn and walk out that door
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Just know only God could love you more
Than I do

The things you say
They hit me with a right sometimes
Hit me with a left some times
I'm still standing
We're still standing

So know you are not alone
I am in this too, this is us
This is me and you
So go, turn and walk out that door
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Just know only God could love you more
Than I do
