The night is darkest
Just before the dawn
With life at its bleakest
A new love is born

Grieving hearts
Loving pasts
Both living apart
From a love that lasts

Now here you stand
Side by side
Hand in hand
A great love so wide

This isn’t technically song lyrics that I wrote, but it’s what got me started writing again. I stopped for about 3 years because I had no inspiration, no reason to write, but in September, my grandmother got married again after my grandfather died. She kept it small and didn’t invite anyone but those who lived locally, but asked people to write things to be read out at the ceremony. She asked me to write something and it took me a while because it had been a long time since I had even tried to write. But in the end I came up with this.

Everyone said it was good and then next thing I knew I was writing again and more than I had before. It got me started on this path, now I’m learning guitar and taking singing lessons to strengthen my voice. Now I feel like myself again. So…. thanks Nan for getting married.

Moral of the story, follow your dreams because they will lead you to where you’re supposed to be.

Love
Roxanne
