The Queen Anne's Lace image is an image that has been with me for some time. . .several years in fact. It is an image which is to bring to mind an open field, a quiet place: something wholesome, even sacred. As my children grow, All I can hope for them is that they will be filled with the kind of serenity, hope, and contact with the earth that will sustain them for all their days.
Lyrics
Queen Anne’s Lace
You live in love forever
No matter where the road leads
Running in the sunshine
Laugh with all your soul
I would give up anything
To keep you whole
Keep wonder in your heart and soul
And this song on your tongue
Remember that I’ve loved you
With everything I know
All I wish in my heart of hearts
That you will let love flow
To see you in the sun by crystal waters
Dancing in a bright and lovely place
And if I had just one wish, for you, my sons and daughters
I only want to see you standing in the Queen Anne’s Lace
And if you rage against me. . .
The fool I sometimes am
And if you should turn away
From everything that I hold as true
Believe beyond all doubt
I always love you
I cannot promise only days of joy and laughter
But you can take your fears and stare them in the face
Oh my daughters and my sons you’ll know the joy that follows after
Oh then I’ll see you standing in the Queen Anne’s Lace
Everything must end that has begun
But I hope that you will always live in grace
Always please remember this, my daughters and my sons
I only want to see you standing in the Queen Anne’s Lace
