Questions. They began from the moment that we find the words to say them. About why the sky is blue, how you can grow tall, and what makes the world go round. Questions about the world we see with our eyes, the people around us, and the life that we live. And for the most […] Read more…
Love. It has been sung about by popular music artists of all genres for many decades and I’m sure many more decades to come.
