What Will She Write   - Song For My Sister

For 2021 the year of the sea shanty! The lyrics for this were found in an old poetry book I picked up at a medieval fair one time I was wandering the grounds with my troubadour. I fell in love with the noble voice of the poet, who spoke not of riches but the beloved they left behind.

This was my first activist song, inspired by a class field trip, a chance meeting.
