did you know i have the most amazing sister? ever? well, i do. she's smart. she's funny. she drives me nuts the way she leaves her stuff all over my house. she's nash's absolute favorite. and she's my best friend. she's also a writer, a musician, and she wrote this for me:
This boat was built with wooden nails
Her body small and weak
Yet to cross this sea of uncertain waters
She may still have the strength she needs
This house was built with wooden nails
Her frame unruly and rough
Yet to protect the love she holds inside
She may still have strength enough
Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me
This bridge was built with wooden nails
Her footing arched and cracked
Yet to hold the weight of what’s sure to come
It won’t be strength she lacks
Your body’s built with wooden nails
But your eyes still look down from above
As in your arms a baby sleeps
Safe and soft and loved
Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me
Her body small and weak
Yet to cross this sea of uncertain waters
She may still have the strength she needs
This house was built with wooden nails
Her frame unruly and rough
Yet to protect the love she holds inside
She may still have strength enough
Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me
This bridge was built with wooden nails
Her footing arched and cracked
Yet to hold the weight of what’s sure to come
It won’t be strength she lacks
Your body’s built with wooden nails
But your eyes still look down from above
As in your arms a baby sleeps
Safe and soft and loved
Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me
i love it.
