Vol. 78 “Portrait Of Strength”- Shari Hyde

12243074_969456706434246_5109741582869723296_n

Shari and her husband Russ were part of the Southern Living at Home season in my life.  Shari has been through 3 surgeries for a brain aneurysm, Go To “Prayers For Shariover the past weeks.

A Woman of Faith, loving Wife, wonderful Mother, Business Woman, Physical Therapist, so many things to so many, Shari also has the voice of an Angel.  Being a kind soul she lent her voice back in 2004 to “Portrait Of Strength” a song I penned and recorded with her that she would transform into a duet.  What a gift.

Today I share Shari’s voice, through that song, as Courtney and my expectant prayer that she will make a full recovery, so that those who know and love her, will again hear her voice, filling the silence full of joy and happiness.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Click To Play “Portrait Of Strength”

Portrait Of Strength
Light to the world
Mother at seventeen
Strength and conviction
The kind rarely seen
Some things just ain’t for sale
No reward will I take
For the life I have within me
This a portrait of strength

Nothing left to do but believe
Nothing left to have but faith
The only time I find it is in weakness
All I ever wanted perfect strength

A day like any other
Colored leaves upon the lawn
My hopes my fears it seemed like years
The phone call dragged on
What’s that you are saying
What’s that my mind must absorb
I thought it was nothing
Reset the sail it’s time to change course

All I ever wanted
Was really nothing for myself
But just for the time being
I’ll put my dreams upon a shelf
It’s there they’ll be waiting
When I come back and play
My life so wide open
I won’t be wasting a single day

Vol. 76 “Me”- Gram Vitale

2014-02-22 190725  Pic 4 - Copy

I was fortunate enough to have my Gram in my life for 30 years.  What a treat, a joy and a most wonderful influence she was.   Meet Gram in this past installment, Volume 4 Click To Hear “American Ingenuity”

The last five years though were her slipping away…losing the battle to Alzheimers.  It’s 15 years ago this week I said good-bye.  Today I share the song I wrote for Gram “Me” that I penned back in 2003 and just finished recording this version.  I dedicate this song to everyone who has seen the devastation of Alzheimers and to everyone who is dedicated to finding a cure. Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Click To Hear “Me”

Me

Gotta face it alone
Can’t find my way home
Left to drift and to roam
It’s just pieces to me

And I can’t pretend to remember
What it is I’m lookin/livin/waitin for
And I can’t seem to find myself
In a song where I know the score
People I have know
And all the places I have been
They’re just a distant memory/melody
What is it that’s happened to me?

What’s waiting & where
No sense left to care
I’m in whose company
What’s happening to me

Through the thick muddied haze
Still a glory of days
To keep dignity
You took good care of me

Your A Gift  Photo Jul 19, 6 03 43 PM

Today…The Gift Of Music.  Enjoy my new song “President”

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Click To Play “President” Written And Recorded By Jerry VItale

President

And I And Me, And All The Scenes I Never See
I Try I Try To Be, All The Things You Need From Me
I Cry I Believe, In The Voice Inside Of Me
Alive I Flee, From The Fear Surrounding Me

And In Time We Will See, A Mortal Man Down On His Knees
Sometimes Despised Sometimes To Cling, To The Emptiness Oh How It Rings
Alone At Night And Time It Creeps, I Reach For Friends That I Didn’t Keep
Live In A World Live In A Place, Can’t Imagine All The Things We Will Face

And Destiny Holds Mystery, And Mystery Uncertainty
But To Change Just One Thing, Effects The Rest The Way It Reigns
Live To Breathe Sigh Of Relief, A Lonely Man What Does He Seek
By And By Just To Compete, Is It Getting Through Or Getting Weak

I Guess That’s Life, Some Left For Me
I Guess That’s Life, What’s Left To Be
What’s Left To Be
