Editor’s Comment: My friend, Marty Grothe, reminded me of this wonderful song. Really it’s a poem. Then my son, Kevin, sent me all the verses. Then while looking it up on youtube, I found this cover version by Josh Lava, who I had never heard of before. Great delivery of a brilliant poem, every word of which has been meaningful to me since the first time I heard it.
Favorite Lyric:
“The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be”
Peace,
Tim McCarthy
