    • This is one of the top 5 Mary wrote & performed in my opinion. She remains a deep lyric writer with a deep beautiful voice & guitarist of excellence. She is easily loved for reaching our human core/heart. Spiritually deep, it is impossible to compliment in words. "Please continue to write & sing all that God gives you, Dear."

    • Don’t need much to be happyFour walls and a roof overheadBooks and food in my bellyCool sheets upon the bedA fire that warms up DecemberThe sound of a thaw in the eavesSometimes it’s hard to rememberHow tough we are to pleaseAll in good timeSomehow I findDays that still shine with lightAll in good steadI’m safe and I’m fedWith dreams in my headGood nightThe feel of my hand being takenDriving at night all aloneThe breeze on a warm summer eveningAnd coming homeAll in good timeSomehow you findDays that still shine with lightAll in good steadYou’re safe and you’re fedWith dreams in your headGood nightDon’t need much to be happyA friend to soften a fallAnd something to show for my laborsAfter allI had to learn to be gratefulI had to learn how to seeMistakes that might have proved fatalAre gifts I now receive

    • I know the feeling. Would give it all, past, present, and future to have my Daughter back. Dave Matthews said it best, "You should never have to bury your own babies."
