Song For You

Had my guitar while travelling and wrote one for the Childhood Memory Challenge. Made a list of my childhood memories like favourite colour; climbing trees; growing up in the Caribbean sea; coming back to the mountains of Canada; favourite song when I was a kid (Patsy Cline Sweet Dreams); early music influences when I was 12 (Allman Brothers and Rolling Stones); and tied it all to my first true love (Christine Coles) who crushed my 11 year old heart. The chorus piece is true, I told my grade 3 teacher I loved summer and when asked why I said “I hate the other damn three” (got me sent home). I also only used the first 3 chords I learned on guitar when I was young (I know 5 now). Hope it works.
