I'm sorry, Mommy bird, but your baby flew away,
It has flown to a place where it's happy and it's safe.
Don't be too sad, for I know how you feel,
But you'll see it again soon, and this time it's for real.
I'm sorry to see it go, I'd bring it back if I could,
I hope you don't hate me, but I'd understand if you would.
The truth is, I loved it, as if it were my own,
I'm glad it had a really good day, before it was gone.
It was fed by it's Mommy, all the food there was to eat,
It was out in the wild, the way it was born to be.
And hopped on the ground, learning to fly,
Then it jumped up all over me, and sat by my side.
Lord, I pray you bless it's soul, it was a sweet little bird,
I pray that you give me strength, I pray my prayers are heard.
Mommy bird, please be happy, for your baby was too,
Thank you, baby bird, letting me watch you as you grew.
I'm sorry, baby bird, for my careless act,
Now I know how my actions can cause an impact.
Baby bird, I've given you all the things you treasure,
And may the peace you rest in be beyond any measure.

Sweet Cottage
On Monday, we took a trip to Coromandel, on the East coast of the North Island. After five hours of driving and stopping, we had finally arrived at Coromandel town, and started to look for the right motel to stay at. The plan had been to stay at Coromandel for one night, head down South towards Waihi, and stay they second night at Tauranga.
The first Motel we looked at had names for each cabin, with spa baths in each of the units. It was cute, but the price for 3 people was $155/night! We told the host that we'd talk about it. The second one we stopped at was quite spacious. The unit had a living room, a bedroom with a king size bed in it, and another bedroom with two single beds in it. And of course, with a room that large, the price couldn't have been cheap! It was $165 per night. We carried on looking.
After driving through the Coromandel town three times and seeing a sign for a motel up a long hill, we finally decided we would stop there and ask for the price. The sign for the motel said "Celadon Cottages". We had no idea what to expect of a cottage. In the office, the host and his (probably about 21 year old) daughter were friendly and warm. The daughter showed us a room that would be $105 a night for the three of us. As soon as I walked into the room, I was stunned speachless! It was a block of rooms, with all of the rooms connected to each ther by doors. There was even a sun deck. This room was just too cute!
As the 21 year old girl showed us another room that would $95 a night, I waved at my dad, who was in the car, for him to come look at this room. I told him that I could not even describe it! I asked the girl if we could see the other room again, and when dad saw it, we decided that this was the place we wanted to stay. I felt bad that we had to lie to the owners about sneaking in a dog, since they had been so friendly and hospitible, so we told them that we had a dog. She said that it was fine, it's only an extra $10 for the cleaning! So the cutest cottage unit stay ever, and it costed $30 less than all the other motels! It's just amazing!
Unfortunately, the weather was quite terrible, so we only ended up staying the one night in Coromandel, then headed back to Auckland the next day. On the way back to Auckland, we visited the Train and Pottery show, which was pretty cute. I really enjoyed it.

Heart of Worship
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
It's all about You...
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
It's all about You...
I really wish I could find the sheet musci to this song. I'd really like to play this on the piano, but all I can find are guitar tabs. The people that play this on youtube don't provide sheet music either.
