Reminds me of my daughter, her father, my own life.
Good tune. Great singer/songwriter.

Writing My Wrongs
When a mother is forced to choose between the child and the culture, there is something abhorrently cruel and unconsidered about that culture. A culture that requires harm to one's soul in order to follow the cultures prescriptions is a very sick culture indeed. This 'culture' can be the one a woman lives in, but more damning yet, it can be the one she carries around and complies with within her own mind….." — Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Can’t believe you have this on here…I don’t know anyone else who’s heard of Jeffery Gaines! I’ve seen him a couple of times and this song has always been a favorite…….used to listen to it a lot. Thanks for the youtube link.
Hope all is well and look forward to seeing you again. Last time was too short.
Bonnie – I have been a JG fan for al ong time. Follow him all around the east coast when he plays. Lots of adoption triggers in his lyrics for me due to the fact that my daughters father likes him too and some of the songs hit too close to home for me. Great singer/songwriter. Good stuff!
