Closer To Fine
It was the favorite song of my best friend
And so, he said, we both must learn the tune.
In many ways I’ll never comprehend
My life was changed by music opportune.
We had to change the key to fit male voice.
And so, the lessons musical began.
We steadily progressed away from noise
Into a guitar duo with a plan.
We’d follow in the footsteps of these “girls”
And in their shadows try to share our arts.
Sing our songs, and theirs to all of the world
Promoting love and healing in all hearts.
The Indigo Girls’ song, “Closer to Fine”
Inspired so many lives, including mine.
