SAVANNAH’S SONG

“Life will break you, take the wind from your sails

Attempt to crush you, leave you alone by yourself

But I won’t leave you, just know I’ll be here by your side

When hearts are breaking, your youth is taken in stride

Look into my eyes and see my soul

Trust my words and know I’ll never go For there is love that will not fail So, toss your coin into this well

And wish, and hope, and dream

Love won’t leave you, and if it does it’s not real ‘Cause love’s not easy, it’s so much more than a feeling But when you find it, fight for it with all that you can For love is magic, and tragic, and it makes you more than a man

Look into my eyes and see my soul

Trust my words and know I’ll never go For there is love that will not fail And toss your coin into this well

And wish, and hope, and dream

And wish, and hope, and dream

Its been said to love another person, is to see the face of God

And I know this to be certain, for all my pain and all my loss

‘Cause I feel it in your laughter, and I hear it in your voice

And no matter what comes after this, you will always be my choice

For the greatest form of anchor for this wandering heart of mine Is acceptance in my darkness, so I can walk into the light

For I, I would die in your arms I would die, I would die in your arms For you, you will live in my heart And you, you’re alive in my heart

So, wish, and hope, and dream

So, wish, would you hope, would you dream with me Oh, may we wish, may we hope, may we dream” soundcloud.com/Matt-Kersh/savannahs-song

My desire is to be a good, good father. Just like God has been to me. Or as least the very best that I can be. What an honor it is to be blessed with children to love and raise love well. I pray I can live up to my expectations.

Those words in my song aren’t just for my daughters, but for everyone. No matter what life throws at us to break our spirits, there is room to wish, and hope, and dream. And even beyond that, there is (literally) all the room in the world to live. And may we really live. All of us.
