Seven Years

I adapted a few lines of the song "Seven Years", as sung by Norah Jones, so that it is written about a little boy rather than a little girl.

Today marks seven years since Cannon's death...and the lines "fragile as a leaf in autumn, just fallin' to the ground, without a sound" have always, always, always made me think of Cannon. Just now did I realize the title of this song is Seven Years...very apropos for today's post.

Spinning, laughing, dancing to

his favorite song

A little boy with nothing wrong

Is all alone

Eyes wide open

Always hoping for the sun

And he'll sing his song to anyone

that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn

Just fallin to the ground

Without a sound

Crooked little smile on his face

Tells a tale of grace

Thats all his own

Spinning, laughing, dancing to his

favorite song

A little boy with nothing wrong

and he's all alone
