You loved leading me on new adventures. You would grab my hand and signal, &#8220;Walk right this way. Let&#8217;s go play.&#8221; You also loved sitting on top of my shoulders and going for walks. Sometimes while sitting up there you would start pounding on my head, &#8220;Order in the pop-pop!&#8221;. Then you would stick your fingers in my ears until I said, &#8220;Ears.&#8221; Next, you would twist your body around until you could look me right in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>We went for a ride in your wagon. Part-way through you climbed out and wanted to push the wagon backwards, so I helped by pulling backwards with you. You also loved the water. We often played with a hose and little swimming pool. On this night, you took a bath&#8230; running down the hall to hop in the tub. Once in the bath, you kept showing me your bellybutton. When you found out that I also had a bellybutton, you would go back and forth between your bellybutton and mine.<\/p>\n<p>Foraging for edible plants was another of your favorite activities. You would guide me to your raspberries, blackberries, and even pineapple mint.<\/p>\n<p>You had very good hearing and could distinguish sounds from great distances.\u00a0 From cars or trucks to barking dogs, you would recognize and respond.\u00a0 On this night there was a barking dog a couple blocks away, you lifted your head and barked back.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, you loved to sing and dance to my guitar. You would jump up and down, come over and strum the strings, and stick your finger in the output jack. Thanks for all your love and care. You are the best songwriting partner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/Aurora\/mp3\/DR0000_0472-Lets-Go-Play.mp3\">Let&#8217;s Go Play!.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chords: E A A E \/ E G A D C E \/ E A D E<br \/>\nInstrumentation: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/Aurora\/\">Aurora<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYRICS You say You&#8217;re looking for a good time You say Hoping today Well, I&#8217;m Happy to say Right this way Let&#8217;s go play!
