Beautiful family

Good luck with the move.
I  think Amy has a good point - I could not imagine moving my daughters as teens - but it does have some valuable life lessons in it.

Thanks for sharing and best wishes !
Jim

Phill,

Both excellent renditions !!

I like the Maggie song the best. 
I grew up very poor and know the feelings associated with that. My dad died when I was 8 months old - leaving my mother with ten kids.
Somehow my mother got us through and we all turned out pretty damned well. 
reminds of the quote - " the things you take for granted, someone else is praying for'

Thanks  for sharing - loved 'em both

yessirreeee Cowboys and girls ! Buffalo chips are just that.
Early settlers of the plains used then for fuel for fires, as well as an early version of frisbees for he kids to play with.
with herds of over 1,000 buffalo roaming , they were pretty plentiful.

The Buffalo Chip Campground is an event venue in Buffalo Chip, South Dakota, USA. It is a gathering place for motorcycle enthusiasts and music festival visitors each year, and has been since being founded in 1981.

Hence the guitar  35 year anniversary

Congratulations !!!

Jim

A meaningful social commentary !!
I liked the passion of your voice

Good luck in resolving the situation !

Seriously - in there somewhere, there's gotta be a poem  - " Ode to the BM"   or a song " Nineteen Guitars and a Bread Machine"   

Welcome to Chordie

Looking forward to your originals .

Jim

p.s. I agree with TF - That's quite a tagline on your website:

"The female equivalent of Elvis, and the animal magnetism of Tina Turner."

sounds intriguing !

Good one Amy !!
Great song -  great exposure to dealing with Autism.

It's up to everyone to to see the glow of the fireflies - it's always there - just have to open  our eyes in a different fashion sometimes.

Thanks for sharing.

I just had this conversation yesterday with my students about how tough life is for some people and how their lives are sitting on the edge of  very fragile support.
And that in our busy lives it's easy to forget them and take for granted the goodness of our own more fortunate lives. A phrase "Abandon Hope"  as such ,reminds us of the need for compassion and the need for acts of kindness - not just lip service.
As Beamer said, Seattle has many homeless - my daughter lived there and when I went out I can verify his observations.  I was actually shocked this year in my own school - I have taught there since 1980, it is very rural and everybody knows everybody, but for the first time ever - i have not one, but three homeless students in my classes.  And as I watched the Republicans shameful debates, Cruz and Trump  talk about each others wives and sexual sizes instead of issues that affect lives of our citizenry.  The stupid media fuels it as well, by asking those stupid questions about such stuff instead of asking - what is your specific plan to help the homeless ?, What is you r specific plan to deal with the drug epidemic ? ( although they would respond to that by saying " build a wall - it's the immigrants fault') or "Instead of building a wall, do you have a plan to build  hospitals  for veterans and  care centers & services for people with dementia and Alzheimers and their families?

Anyway - sorry about the rant - don't mean to detract from your beautifully written and poignant poem - but as you can see it struck a nerve !
Well done !
Thanks

Jim

Sure.
