Duration: 3 min 26 s
Description: This is the song about asking God to help you forget things and keep your mind focused on the things you should be grateful for.

This is a song about trips with our mother to the place she loved best in the world, how it lifted our young spirits, how we took her back there when she passed, and how our spirits continue to be lifted and inspired by her memory.

I post multiple versions of songs made from my lyric poems in different genres so those interested can follow the evolution of lyrics through their iterations in various genres.  I aspire to write lyric poetry to touch people, either to make them happy, or to touch their sadness and let them know they are not alone.
