The Longest Time (thank you, Billy Joel!)
It’s calming to watch the overflow for Ladybower Dam in Derbyshire, England – a refreshing lull in the middle of this long pandemic. I hope this song encourages you to stay connected, pray big, hope for a cure, trust in God, and don’t give up. Please reach out for help when you need it. Thank you, Billy Joel, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “For the Longest Time” (Billy Joel)
Words by me: Whoa, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time. Whoa, oh, oh, for the longest . . . If you Zoomed or Skyped with me tonight, we could still be talking while we typed. What else could I do? I still can’t go and see you! We’ve had pandemic for the longest time! Once we thought the virus would be gone. Now we know waves can go on and on. So here we are, friend – wish COVID-19 would end. We might be in this for the longest time! Whoa, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time. Whoa, oh, oh, for the longest . . . It’s so cool we’re on each other’s screens, and the greatest miracle we’ve seen – we stay connected though we are separated. We talk together for the longest time! Maybe this won’t last very long – we hope we are right, but we could be wrong. Praying big and hoping so hard. We’ve all come so far. Press on, please don’t give up! Who knows how much longer this will last? Trust God’s power and presence – they’re so vast. We’ll take our chances – His grace and love He’ll grant us. He’s always with us for the longest time! We all have anxious thoughts now and then. We say to ourselves, “Hold on!” once again. Now we know this is hard, but endure – we’ll wait for a cure, and we’ll help one another. Let us choose relationships each day. After that, take time for lesser things. Our hearts ache so bad. We’ll try to not be too sad – apart but close-knit for the longest time! Whoa, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time. Whoa, oh, oh, for the longest time.
