Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
had a damn good song;
makes me cry every time I listen.

I sing it from my tongue-
and though the sad is wrong
it makes my heart glisten

with tears


See...it reminds me of a brother
who took it into his hands
'bout when he would die...
leaving no one who understands.

"Just a song before I go,
a lesson to be learned,
travelin' twice the speed of sound,
it's easy to get burned."


Listening now...
glistening now.

Very sad
I hope it's not true and just your creative side being expressed.
Whoops...Just read the other comments and I am so sorry for you. Terrible loss.

I remember that song and it was a classic.

You're a very good writer.

So deeply touching. These awesome memories resurface, and remind us of our fragility.

wishing you well,

So true sad songs play on long after they are gone as they remain on our mind and forever in our heart
