Thankful Thursday- Words To Live By

Posted by at




May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

I couldn't come up with my own words to live by. I am eternally grateful for Bob Dylan who wrote these incredible lyrics. I have shared this song before but it is completely what I am about and sums up my life at this point in time.

Linking up with the lovely Sarah from Creating Contentment for #thankfulthursday and with the amazing guest host of The Lounge this week Emma from Five Degrees Of Chaos.

    Love this. These words took my breath away and I clutched at my chest. I didn't realise Bob Dylan wrote it. I believed that Joan Baez wrote it for Bob Dylan, her younger lover. Thank you for linking up to #thankfulthursday. xx

    Pretty awesome. These older, simplistic lyrics always make me think.

    I wish that more singer/song writers would write songs that had meanings like this. The songs of my generation are mostly just noise. Every now and then a pearler comes along and I play it to death lol.
