Frolicking (You should try it)

A song is one of the most powerful communication devices that you'll ever encounter. Songs stick in your mind, you hum them subconsciously, they give people a common ground- it is possible that a song can change your life...
While I'm working on songs of my own, I also take plenty of time to appreciate what's already been written. Now, this song may be cheesy, but I happen to like it immensely. It just reminds me to keep my standards high and never settle for less than God's best. Ultimately, I will end up in Heaven forever and ever after and the fact that the Holy Spirit brings a bit of Heaven inside of me right now, today, on Earth- just excites, encourages, and strengthens me even more.

Plus this song makes me think of running around in a wide open meadow--and to be honest, sometimes I just get the urge to frolic.

P.S. Meriam Webster literally defines frolic as "to play and run about happily".

EVER EVER AFTER
Recorded by Carrie Underwood
. . .
Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it to
.
Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
.
Start a new fashion,
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's realest
By making believe
.
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed
In this world
You even might wind up
Being glad to be you
.
Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you
It's not smart
Ever ever after
The world can be yours
If you let your heart
Believe in ever after
.
No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through
.
To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
.
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after
Oh, for ever ever after
