~ British poet, Percy Shelley, from his Ode to the West Wind
Recently, I went to play piano and sing at Montevue Retirement Home
in Frederick, and decided to include an original song of mine called Self Storage
“Dreaming of Spring.” I normally sing all the old popular songs, like “Call
Me Irresponsible,” “Memory Lane,” “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home,”
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow,”and so on, and they like them. It is my hope PORTABLE STORAGE
that the songs I sing touch the elderly with pleasant memories, as many of Need Room? NEW!
them have dementia or depression. CONTAINERS
So, after doing some old songs, I sang my song, “Dreaming of Spring.” Too Much Clutter?
They liked it. I know we all can hardly wait for this frigid winter to pass, so I
thought I would share the lyrics to my song with you. I will get back on track Affordable
with essays next month. So, here goes...and don’t worry, spring is on its way!
