Been around the block a few times. I got a little reflective when I wrote this one. If it strikes a chord with some of my Baby Boomer friends, that will make me smile, as I'll know you get it. ❤️🙏❤️

A personal favourite of mine. Yeah, it's a bit "drippy", but I've always been a "Softhearted Sam", so to speak. ❤️

Can be found on the Soft and Sweet Playlist.
