...a song and a boy

i was driving one afternoon with my nephew seated at the back strapped on his booster seat, when out of the blue he called for my attention: "tita anne, i have a favourite song. you want to hear it?" of course, excited as i was, i pulled down my visor and looked at him from the vanity mirror and said: "sure baby, what is it?" and i saw his sweet smile and his eyes twinkling at the same time.

then he started singing.... singing in his oh so sweet, boyish voice:


i have a dream, a song to sing
to help me cope with anything
if you see the wonder of a fairy tale
you take the future only if you fail

i believe in angels
when i know the time is right for me
i'll cross the stream - i have a dream


i was in awe! he did sing that song as is he had mastered it since he was two. he is almost 5. gee! i almost cried! i was so proud of my little one! :)

too bad, i didn't have any camera or anything that i could've used to capture the moment. it was AWESOME!
