Song about lemons

I think everyone has a place they go to that just feels safe. A place where it feels like nothing can harm you. My place is my swinging bridge in Townsend. Since I was a very little girl this has been my favorite place. No matter what the weather is, the sun always shines on my face there.
When things were getting crazy at home, I would go to my bridge and just listen to the water flowing and it was better than pumping Zanax straight into my veins. It was where I got my first kiss from a boy with eyes of blue. It's where I first dealt with death. It's where 90% of my summer was spent.
That leads me into the point of this post. I've always dreamed of writing a song about my bridge because I know this place is special to many, not just me. A yr ago I gave my idea to a song writer in Nashville. This week he contacted me with the first real draft of the song and wanted my input. It's amazing how he kept the meaning of the song true to the background that I have him. Who know what will happen with it. Someday on the radio you may hear a song about a bridge and a boy with eyes of blue.
All the "lemons" in life that have drawn me to this place of solace, could also be the beginning of me realizing my dream of someday writing a song!
Until next time- safe picking
