Daddy and I were listening to music one night and a song came on by Guy Clark( Mommy had never even heard of him until then :)). The song was called "The Cape" and Daddy just said, "This is the song I want played at Trey's Wedding. This is what I want him to always remember no matter how old he gets or what life throws his way"...I didn't really get it until i went home and read the lyrics and then, well, I cried.
Trey, we hope you always wear your "cape" and never forget that you can be/do whatever it is that sets your heart on fire and stirs a passion in you: YOU CAN FLY...just always take that leap of faith! Lots of love on your 2 1/2 Birthday. Mommy + Daddy.

Here are the words to the song by Guy Clark, The Cape:
The Cape
Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin’ what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin’ start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground
Chorus
He’s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold you breath
Always trust your cape
All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
He’s full of piss and vinegar
He’s bustin’ at the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
It’s gonna be do or die
He wasn’t scared of nothin’, Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He’s still jumpin’ off the garage
And will be till he’s dead
All these years the people said
He’s actin’ like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Chorus
