Fathers & Sons
As I listen to this song it reminds me of you,
That special way you were and the things you used to do, Suddenly I am transported back to a time of yesteryear, When there were no problems, or worries a total lack of fear,
My heart trust in you my father, said the son in his special way, To do the things you’d want me to, make you proud of me some day,
In this crazy world we live in it’s easy to get lost,
To major on the minor things and forget to count the cost, But when I hear that special song your face appears to me, And once again I feel okay and clearly I can see,
I can almost hear your voice speaking like it did from long ago, And a silent look or smile you gave that set my heart aglow,
If you follow your heart like you did from the start and don’t let it slip away, You will find happiness and be successful every night and every day,
And don’t forget the little things, try to have some fun, These words I speak now to you, says the Father to the son

Her favorite part of writing is how a simple line can transport one to a place of healing or a feeling long forgotten. She loves how powerful words are.
