Day 12: Reconnecting

As I fill in the days I've missed blogging, I'm thankful for "Post Options" granting me the magical ability to change the date and time of postings. It occurs to me that some days in life have little blank spaces, parts that haven't had a chance for reflection or stepping back and analyzing. This often happens due to stress and the hyper speed of life in the fast lane, Washington, D.C. where everyone has a niche.

I dedicate this blog to those who pause in the fast lane, just trying to catch up... to... re-connect.

"Carrying A Torch"

I'm carryin' a torch for you
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carryin' a torch

Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up
Higher and higher

You're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Baby why don't we re-connect
Move into the light

I've been going to and fro on this
And I'm still carryin' a torch
You must know how much it's worth
When I'm carryin' a torch (alright)

Baby you're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why don't we re-connect
And move on further, into the light

I've been calling you on the phone
`Cause I'm carryin' a torch (yeah)
I can do it all on my own
`Cause I'm carryin' a torch

I'm carryin' a torch for you, baby
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carryin' a torch (one more)

I'm carryin' a torch for you, baby
I'm carryin' a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carryin' a torch.
