What’s that song, it sounds like heaven? I heard it once when I was seven.
David Norris, John Norris, John Boswell
Pete Ham

Though these days are tired and worn With feels of fray Like old favorite ripped up jeans Of younger days You bring the sunshine In such darkened skies of grey
The joy and laughter, invaluable The love between, infallible
So, when you’re feeling down Look around and do not forget The lovely days when we first met For those bright days are never gone Such memories are now reflections lingering In ripples far across the quiet pond
I look forward to spending The day with you Sharing a Starbucks Vanilla cream coffee cold brew
Shopping together at Ross And finding a cute top or cozy sweater Doing these things with you Is always so much better
Bingeing on the “Love Is Blind” TV show And putting it up for a deep discussion When my minds not tired and slow I enjoy it with such giddy gumption
All the little things, these things We experience when we’re together Are just the best of the best In any of our California weather

When you curl in bed beside me You’re my lovely little spoon Holding you wrapped close and tight My heart leaping over the moon
We have so much we share in common I love all the many ways we just fit All the big and little things That together make living all worth it

Join with me and just let loose
As together loudly we scream
Are these sounds of pleasure or pain?
And what does it all really mean?
Enjoy the following song, Scream, by Bowman from his album Living To Dream.
Highly recommended.
