This song speaks of enduring love. Sometimes people are taken from us unexpectedly, and all that we’re left with is our pledge of love.

This is a simple song about falling in love. The key phrase for me is, “I don’t want to be alone tonight.” I think it speaks a loud truth. Sometimes we fall in love simply because we don’t want to be alone.

Friends can come and go in our life. We cross paths for many reasons, mostly to learn lessons. When our time together ends, it can leave a longing for what was.

How fragile life is and how quickly things can change. We might forget, we are vulnerable, and every minute of life is prescious.

This is a song written for my mother. She and cooked dinner for fourteen of us every Thursday. She did this for years, and one day I realized that it wasn’t going to last forever.

It speaks of getting caught up in the social race of “forever striving for more” and forgetting the simple joys of life. If we could be more like the animals and just “be”, I think we could be happier.

Comic relief! It laughs at the fact that we loose our physical attributes as we get older, and can get caught up in maintaining our youthful appearance.

This is a love song that was cowritten with a friend many years ago.

This song was written two weeks after my mother died. It’s a song of grief and loss and captures the pain of those moments when we loose someone we dearly love.

This song also addresses the loss of someone we love. Life is change and the big lesson is to learn to let go, but hold onto the love and memories.

A philosophy to live by. We make our happiness, we make our sorrow. Learning this can make us responsible for our lives.
