I was sorting through my work this morn, getting ready for our first day in the recording studio, and i came across this piece... GOD's CHILD He is my son, my brother my responsibility this young one, my friend. A little, righteous skater dude my beloved, my son GOD's CHILD. He walks away, looking back waving on his way to school his hat backward worn. His jeans sagging, bagging his hair cut??? half shaved GOD's CHILD. Our shared prayer rings it's a praise, worship thing this old blood is charged. like new. Our hearts beat as one leap in our shared zeal warmed by faith in our Lord. GOD's CHILD. He is my son he is my brother my loan from God to teach. pain vrs joy as we grow together. My buddy, my friend so different,yet so very same as we carry His name. GOD's CHILD! 3/95 (for Andrew Phillip Burt) bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

This is great! It is a good reminder of who our kids really are, that in fact they aren't really ours. Thanks. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Thank you each ladies! This especially significant as it was just a few months before we lost our son to an ugly, unjust court decision and had to fly him back to CA. Which, of course was the inspiration for Never Ending Love. Which by the way, we laid down in the recording studio today, and i wept like a baby. John Lord, our studio owner/mentor/engineer just simply said, "that's a take" and we are going to leave that one alone. Thank God. bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |
