So Completely Inspiring!

I imagine that many of you don't listen to NPR's All Things Considered and perhaps didn't hear this story yesterday evening. I imagine that many of you also don't watch Britain's Got Talent. I imagine that you may not yet have been one of the 15 MILLION people to see this fabulous performance by Susan Boyle.

So, take a look. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll be shocked. Awestruck. Happy. Joyous. And chills will overcome you, if they don't make you cry from genuine happiness and knowing that you're hearing something, well, extraordinary!
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we'll live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So much different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
Kudos, Susan Boyle. May God and his angels bless you on your journey and soon bring us all such beautiful music!

P.S. - Elaine Page has nothing on you. Your performance has blown her's out of the water.
