Father’s Day 2009.
When I woke yesterday morning , the idea for this song was flitting through my mind….
100 years from me
___________________________________________________
You came to mind this morning
a hundred years from me,
My daughter’s
daughter’s
daughter….
a hundred years from me.
_________________________________________________________
There’s some things I want to tell you
Bout things that shouldn’t be.
about the world
you woke up in this morning.
100 years from me…..
_______________________________________________
I think about my grandpa,
and his grandpa too
I wonder if they ever
gave much thought
bout the things
they’d say and do
___________________________________________________
the choices this generation makes
are landing at your feet….
Our leaders spend the
children’s money
they legislate
deceit
________________________________________________________________
You came to mind this morning
a hundred years from me,
My daughter’s
daughter’s
daughter….
a hundred years from me….
___________________________________________________
“We’re sorry” just don’t cut it,
hollow words
to my ears they sound
We need to live with a long term view
if we hope you’ll be around….
_________________________________________________________
You came to mind this morning
a hundred years from me,
My daughter’s
daughter’s
daughter….
a hundred years from me….
final thought…this is just a rough draft, I ‘m sure it can be polished. My intention is to ask one of my musician friends to help me “tweak it” and put it to music….I can hear the song in my mind. Wanted to post it, this Father’s day morning. DM

Beautiful, DM.

This not only needs to be put to music, it need to be HEARD! Great thoughts, DM.

I love it! I can hear it in my head, too. But I’m not a musician…

Once again, I find you to be an interesting person. Could you move next door to me? And bring some of your neighbors along, too.
