I wrote this song a long time ago and had made a home-made demo on audio cassette.  It is about friendship, memories, love and loss.  Just recently I recorded a new rendition.

I WANT TO HOLD YOU IN MY HEART FOREVER. - 2

I am from WV where I was born and raised. I have participated in the local, amateur arts since childhood. I sang in the school/church choir in the past, I've been writing poetry since I was 16 years old. My artistic projects online consist of blogs, photography and videos that I have created. I live a very quiet, private life and I spend time with my family when I can. I have a great love for the arts, nature, animals, human & animal rights, music, literature, Greek mythology and movies, T.V. shows as well. I'm also a big fan of pop culture and I enjoy photography as a hobby. I like to enter art, photography and writing contests/exhibits, my artistic interests continue to grow and evolve as I go through life. I have an affinity for things that exist that are not of this world. There are unique individuals, time era's, places, mysteries and historical occurrences that I am moved by, drawn to and I feel so connected. Spring is one of my favorite seasons because it means that everything is alive, awake and born anew. And it means that summer is soon to follow, the summer foliage is so beautiful, and it’s nature in balance. Each year I try harder and harder to hold on to the warm months. As the summer descends into autumn, which I refer to as Halloween season. I find that time of the year so enchanting but then the world and all of life itself falls into a deep, almost a never ending winter's slumber. And once again I cannot wait for it to come to an end. Life is a long and perilous journey and to everyone out there please never give up on your dreams. Because there is always hope, everyone deserves a chance. Don't just hold on to your youth, I want you to run toward it. To be amidst its eternal embrace. Right now sadly and unfortunately we are all under a dark, black veil due to the Corona virus.  Which I am sure every single one of us prays endlessly to be released from these restraints.  So that we can have more of a decent level of normalcy.  I live on a low-budget income that I receive thru the state of which I reside.  I would love to do so much more with my artistic subjects of interest.  So that I can provide a much better way of life, not just for me.  But also for my family members as well, I need something to look forward to.  As we all need something to look forward to.  All of us need a better life, a better world and a better tomorrow.  I would like to make if not all at least some of my greatest dreams and aspirations come true.  To see as well as feel dreams, hopes and goals come into fruition!  I cannot imagine what a wonderful feeling that must be?  I hope all of you are safe and well.  Take good care and thank you for your time.
