Living in the cold of WI this winter I am dreaming of palm trees and white sand beaches, warm tropical breezes and maybe even a little umbrella. It’s going to be so cold here Governer Scott Walker is thinking of shutting down all the schools in WI with windchill expected to be -45 to -55. And I hear there are still tickets to the Packer Game on Sunday with temps only expected to be -30 with the windchill!
Here is a song I wrote with my husband Bob last night. I think I need steel drums, give it that Jamaica sound! I love reggae music, how about you? I’m going to have to learn to play it though, the beat is totally different than what I am used to!
Looking for a Palm Tree
Copyright 2014 Bob and Diana Rasmussen
Locked up in a corner of time
knocked down by waves of life
Driftwood casualties
accusing me of never done crimes
*
Looking for a palm tree
In a concrete jungle
Choosing to believe in love
Despite what I see
I’m looking for a palm tree
In a concrete jungle
*
World’s full of possibilities
alternate realities
truth is so hard to see
On the beach of abnormality
*
But Seeds grow in the dark
Spring up through cracks
in the sidewalk
*
Looking for a palm tree
In a concrete jungle
Choosing to believe in love
Despite what I see
I’m looking for a palm tree
In a concrete jungle
