There ain’t no substitute    11 comments

Under Tucson skies
 
Under Tucson skies
Desiring the wings to fly
In a sky so deep blue
Satisfied to walk my days
Under Tucson skies.
 
Sometimes I get a little lost
Acting like a kid flying high
I don’t know why
the thrill is still here
Satisfied under Tucson skies.
 
I know it an’t just 
one of those things
It’s something so nice
So I can’t get use to
Something so right.
 
I see beautiful colors
I want to write about
But there an’t no substitute 
For the real thing 
I know there an’t no substitute.

  5. Working on music for it today. You might hear it soon.

  6. I finished a recording of a version of your poem made into a song. Link to the recording:

    • Your thoughtfulness is overwhelming, and to post it on my birthday. Thank you, you are something else. If we were not bloggers, our paths would have remained two ships passing at night. Again, thank you so very much. The recording is a perfect birthday gift.
