Veerle

Met de ganse familie op vakantie in Samoens, Frankrijk juli 2012.

De eerste week daar in de bergen volgt ze nog een 5-daagse chemokuur. Dat was niet gepland. Na zes chemokuren zouden we het achter de rug hebben. Maar de chemo leek zo goed aan te slaan dat de dokters graag de kuur zouden laten doorlopen. En die chemokuur viel dan recht in de vakantie. Vakantie die we met zijn allen zouden doorbrengen in Samoens. Maar gelukkig, de chemo kon wel genomen worden in de bergen.

Veerle reikt er nog naar de sterren. Misschien, misschien kwam het toch goed … Nneka zingt Shining Star. Dat kan alleen Veerle zijn!


In this madness, in this world,
with its swiftness and its coldness,
You're my peace of mind!
When the world just keeps turning
And I know not where to head to,
You're my peace of mind!
And when I look up in the skies and see
all that you have created
Nothing else does count but your everlasting love

[Chorus:]
Oh shining star, when you smile down to me!
Oh, what you are
when you look down to me
Beautiful star, do keep your eyes on me!
Oh, oh, what you are
When you look down to me?

Despite my greed, you wanted just me, though I am hard, strict, still you love me,
I appreciate you and though you seems so far away,
you are so near I can feel you
Your light dwells within my mind
And I know you're sometimes lonely
and how I wish that I can change it
but all I know is, you got me
And I pray my love would give you life to help you breath
to keep your smile
my shining star, to take my love and live!

[Chorus: (x2)]
Oh shining star, please look down for me!
Oh, what you are?
When you look down at me
When you and I feel love
When you blaze your light on me I feel warmer

Where you smile I smile,
Where you live I live,
Where you die, I die!
Oh, yeah! You!
I'm a shining star, oh I wonder what you are?
