To the Temptations

If you can make the gray sky bluer, or make it rain whenever you want it to. Can you build a castle from a single grain of sand, and make the ship sail on dry land? If you can turn a river into a raging fire, or live forever if you so desire, then take this advice from me and listen very carefully: You should not worry about getting next to her. She should be trying to get next to you!

You were clearly moved by the song and its imagery. I imagine you carried that connection for decades. Great tribute.
