The Blessing

Pictured here is our little John Stuart in the steady arms of his great-grandmother, Grace Stuart.  But, this song was written for two other sweet babies who were just a few months from being born at the time: Chelsea Rae and Anna Caroline.  Your pending arrivals were the inspiration for these lyrics.

The Secret

By the time I was 12, my piano teacher, Mrs. Bauschka, was requiring two hours of practice a day.  The only way this could be accomplished was a half hour before school, an hour after school and a half hour after dinner.  To keep me at the piano, my mother had to sit on the couch by the piano and read or do needle work.  When I would complain - which was daily - she would always say that someday I would thank her.  When I was almost 30, I bought a piano and realized that she was right.  This song was my thank you to her.   Copyright 1988 Angela Anglin Dallas TX
