love can build a bridge,closing
the gap of discord

Sometime the bridge is poorly constructed. In that case the discord can be greatly increased. Sometimes of course, love conquers all. ;0)

You should be interviewed by CNN so that the whole world can hear you read this verse to them, Politician of the year. Well penned dear Alexis. Hugs and blessings Jenn. Forgive me if i am a little scarce, sold our home and packing up and sifting through decades of collecting, first by my parents, and then us.

thanks for seeing mine. I forgot to tell you - I remember learning this song you chose when I learned guitar and practicing it constantly. I had not known the song before my teacher gave it to me to practice because I had not listened to country in those days. She gave me so many country songs to learn. John Denver had some of the prettiest songs. Too bad he died young
