My Crazy Diamond
Another song/poem. I wrote, and my sons friend and I recorded, its a bit rough cause it was recorded on his phone, but the words are mine.
My Crazy Diamond
As these words cascade upon the page

wisdom abiding.
Your generosity of spirit
your kindness of soul.
Your limitless friendship
