She Was Love

by @jeffjweir

Liner Notes

My mom is in the end stages of Alzheimer’s. It’s been a tough road I know a lot of others have had to travel. I am SO ready to celebrate her and revel in what she has meant to me and will always mean to me. I apologize if I offend anyone by referring to my mom in the past tense when she is still physically with us. It is out of the utmost respect for a dear soul who loved, and is loved, so fully.

Songwise, I was a little shocked that it clocked in at 3:30. I’m more of a 2:30 guy. Hope it doesn’t drag too much.

Lyrics

I’ll always hear the sound of her voice It’s gonna to be ok I’ll always feel the touch of her hand That always made me feel safe

She was love In so many ways She was love She could always ease the pain Heart of compassion showing the way She was love Every single day

It wasn’t the bandaid that made my knee feel better It was a mom who cared Whatever the problem whatever the reason It didn’t matter She was always there

She was love In so many ways She was love Gentle healing grace Heart of compassion showing the way She was love Every single day

So many notes in a masterful symphony Blending together to make beautiful art Time, effort, devotion and tenderness Made the gift that she gave to our hearts

She was love In so many ways She was love She could always ease the pain Heart of compassion showing the way She was love Every single day Every single day

Wow. That is a killer song...and beautiful chorus. This is what makes FAWM great... if you can walk away with one song like this that you wouldn't have written otherwise, it is all worth it. Nice work Jeff....this will touch many people.
