it's been an eternity
it's taken all of me to get here
the hands of time
they pushed me down the street
they swept me off my feet to this place
and i don't know my face
now all through the night i can pretend
the morning will make me whole again
then everyday i can begin
to wait for the night again
one more tune
that will never be done
it's just another one for the moon
for the days in the rune
just today i woke up feeling fine
like the world was mine
i was clean
and it was a dream
where out of the blue came you and me
the wizard of oz has set us free
you let me float out to your feet
just like you believed in me
it's like you believed
one small year
i wonder where i've gone
it shouldn't seem so long or so weird
and i was always here
it's just one small year"

Oh how cute. Nothing takes my breath away than little girls. Is that Cassie's dress!!! Talk about memories!
HEather
That IS Cassie's dress! And I have had those slippers since I was in college working as the thrift store coordinator for The Peace Nook. Someone donated them and I bought them, hoping to put them on a daughter someday. I saved them all these years in a small pine hope chest. Putting them on Mara was incredible. I cried and said, "They fit! They fit!" as if she was Cinderella, LOL. And I think she felt like a princess that day.
