I could be mistaken, but did you mention in a previous post that you just started writing? As I was reading your lyrics, a Don Henley song came to mind, "you find somebody to love in this world you'd better hang on tooth and nail. The wolf is always at the door", because "in a New York minute, everything can change". As a musician myself, I tip my hat to you for actually creating something from your own head and heart. It's something I want to do and just can't seem to get over whatever block it is that's holding me back. Keep the creativity flowing. My prayers are with you and Emma. I know you'll have many more dances....... Bruce |

quote gutmon: "Thanks Bruce. I had Jackson Browne running through my head as I wrote this- no particular song, just his sound. Will post the song itself when finished. " Or maybe Dan Fogelberg...very nice |

For Emma (Long May You Dance) A foggy day in early February Hopin' our fears would be proved contrary Only get one dance though the steps may vary No one's life is ever ordinary Now the fog's been lifted and our vision's clear Uncertainty itself’s a certain fear Hold on tightly to those who you hold dear Draw them close to you and keep them near and long may you dance Permanence, turns out, is only temporary Got to dance our dance even when it's scary We'll never get more weight than we can carry Just keep on dancin' your steps and never tarry Now the fog's been lifted and our vision's clear Uncertainty itself’s a certain fear Hold on tightly to those who you hold dear Draw them close to you and keep them near and long may you dance |

writing songs has so many purposes in our psyche - releasing what we feel, feeling what we release and reaching out to express that to those that care to listen. you have most successfully accomplished all those. My songwriting hat is off to you, my friend. Long may you write. Jerry |
