A little diddy

This morning I was thinking about my brother and sister Carlee and Nate on their birthday today, and I was missing them.
At times like this it is the deep, raw emotion of the moment that births a song within my inmost being and thus, I found that the words poured from my heart onto paper. The tune was not long in coming (a very complex tune, as you will see) and now, I present to you, Carleen and Nathan,

An Ode To August 9th

...Sorta' in the style of Johnny Cash (deepest apologies to him).


Happy birthday, sibs!

    Lol! Thanks everyone. :)
    And--I have to say this to maintain a little dignity-- I had someone ask if I was actually trying to sound goofy or not and YES, YES YES I was! That is NOT my normal voice.
