An a capella eulogy for an estranged father. Dad died 9 days ago. No condolences needed.
Who is estranged from you? What would you sing for them? What do want sung for you? Is this song therapy for me or is it an effort to make my 14 songs with a week to go?
If your ashes are dropped in the Connoquenessing
The waters will take you where ever it goes
I’ve looked at the maps and I’ve studied the squiggles
You’ll be rolling along to the Ohio
At the news of your passing, your sons got together
By texting each other with memories of you
Your time here on earth is finally over
Just roll with the river is all you can do
I had no regrets and I hope you’d none either
We’d chosen our pathways to keep ourselves sane
Here I am downstream outside Cincinnati
The river is swelling from all of this rain

sounds like therapy that was encouraged by the February time constraint. I love this one. Keep 'em coming.

A fitting tribute for an estranged relation, I think. The roll to the tune sounds like a riversong.
