Mother. Toaster. Friend.
Hi There! I'm Donna, homeschool mom and homemaker. Just an average gal who has been writing music for years with no one to hear them but the walls. A dear friend thought I should put a few of the tons on here so I could share them. So here they are! The songs on this page are not finished works, they are demos. I didn't record them very well and the mixing leaves a lot to be desired. These songs are pretty much just to hear, NOT to show a completed product and they are definitely not 'releasable' material. When they are REALLY done right, there will be live music and no kids hollering for MOM in the background. Right now, most of them here are done with just my computer using a simple walmart mic. Nothing fancy. My arrangements are done using Band in the Box so I could get the melody that was in my head into my ears without having to hire costly musicians. A few of them (and you'll be able to tell which ones) were done with professionals but I ran out of money before I could finish . Recording is really expensive. So I just simply work now in my kitchen on my computer and here you get the basic idea of what I write and what it sort of will sound like if God ever lets me do it right! Thanks for giving it a listen!

Story behind the song
This song has been a favorite of most of the people that hear my music. Its dedicated to Michael Rogerson, a little boy in Florida who's mother was my best friend. She and Michael's brother Matthew were killed in a car accident leaving Michael and his father facing life without them. I miss Laura desperately and it is my sincere desire that Michael one day gets a chance to listen to this song about his mother. Michael, wherever you are......this is for you. I miss them too. Your mother was the most beautiful human being I've ever had the privelge to know and if not for her, I would not be here today writing songs for the glory of God. The 'angel' mentioned in the song "Have Mercy" is Laura Rogerson. Sing loud his praises, my friend. See you soon.
Lyrics
Time is passing by Still no end to the tears I cry Since you went away. Though I rejoice at where you are, there are times you seem so far, most days I do real well but there's something I need to say. I still miss you so! Sometimes I wonder if you know.... Though your safe inside His grace, I so long to see your face, I can't let you go. So won't you meet me by the river (on the other side) Right there by the gate. Oh you were there..the first time I met Jesus. How I want you there the first time I see His face... Jesus said it won't be long Till the day finally dawns And all the pain is washed away So I'll wait patiently till then, sing loud His praises oh my friend Till the coming of that day. When you will meet me by the river(on the other side) Right there by the gate. Oh you were there the first time I met Jesus. How I want you there the first time I see His face When you will meet me by the river (on the other side) Right there by the gate Oh you were there the first time I met Jesus How I want you there the first time I see His face.
