zip-a-dee-doo-dah

i feel like this could be missy's theme song.
once, she sang the entire song
in a voicemail she left for me.
the entire song.
i think it had been a difficult day and
she was determined not to let it get her down.

a long time ago {7 years ago},
i gave her a wind-up music box
that played zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

a couple years ago,
i had this necklace made for her

she sent me this picture

from their trip to disneyland.

zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay.

my, oh, my, what a wonderful day.

plenty of sunshine headed my way.

zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay.

in spite of everything,

missy could always find

a bluebird on her shoulder.

i hope you can find one, too.
