A Day to Remember

This post is a little change from the normal verses I write but I want to remember today forever so, I'm writing it down. Brett and I were in my room when we went to www.ahugfromtaylorswift.com to check on challenge three. We saw the karaoke challenge started in like an hour and decided to go string up our hammocks in front of Samford and hang and watch the Auburn University Hotel Ballroom incase T-Swift really came.

We noticed a crowd gathering and Payton told us it was really happening so we went over and shockingly enough it was true, she was in Auburn. We rushed into the parking lot only to be told we would be arrested if we did not stop and move over to the sidewalk. We then joined the crowd on the sidewalk and decided to start a mob into the parking lot. It worked. Us and a few other random girls started the mob and thankfully everyone joined! We rushed the parking lot and the cops and surrounded her car and the door she would be coming out.

You could cut the anticipation in the crowd with a knife. It was incredible. The doors open and her mother came out followed by tons of cameras and then the moment everyone was waiting for finally arrived. Taylor Swift was less than 20 feet away and she smiled and waved as she got in her car.

The crowd, unknowingly pushed to close to her car and the cops started pushing us away. At first I was angry until the pushing somehow ended with me in the very front of the crowd. I was right in front of her car! Then, the moment I will NEVER forget, she rolled down the window and POINTED AT ME! Best moment of all of Freshman year. We then ran to Spencer's car and dialed up our local connection lady, Mrs. Landrum and she directed us to the airport where T-Swift's jet was. We got there in time to meet her Dad and he gave us one of her guitar picks!

Then as the plane rolled closer to us we saw her wave goodbye! All in all, it was a beyond incredible day. I respect her so much more, no other "star" would be so kind to their fans to do this much for them. War Damn Taylor Swift!

Dream

When I was just a little boy,

eyes wide with wonder, love, and joy,

I sat up in my perch in Papa's tree.

I saw the world with no disdain,

knew none but bliss,

sheltered from pain,

I laughed and dreamt of whom I would be,

I had a dream.

I found my peace in mountain trails,

the wisdom of the world unveiled,

in the silence, stillness, calm.

I found me.

To and fro my world would turn,

I walked and as I did I learned,

More and more of who I would be.

I had a dream.

Once I had walked I wanted to run,

to God I turned and to his Son,

Running hard into their arms, into me.

I know not much more now, today,

of whom I will be,

yet I know my name,

I feel the call I want to fly, to be free.

I had a dream.

But as I taste my world of bliss,

poison threatens at my lips,

but I know now exactly how to lead.

the life I lead.

I've learned to fly I must first trust,

not on myself, but in God I dost,

My future is in your hands,

and Lord I know you know that

I had a dream.

So now my feelings juxtaposed,

pre-med or law, and other woes,

I fear and fear of whom I will be.

I want to be the man I saw,

those years ago,

without a flaw,

a man of the Lord, ultimately.

I had a dream.

I've lived it full and lived it well,

so many stories I tell their tale,

Of how and when I reached

my dream.
