The new star spangled bannerThis song is very special to me as it is a collaboration between my mother and I. She wrote part of this song at 3:34 in the morning on 9/12/2001. She past away a year later 4 days before my birthday in July 2002. The tragic event of 9/11 had a lasting impact impact on the both of us. From that event i suffered greatly, I had to be on medication to keep myself from having panic attacks that were cause by every time on turn on the news channel or read a newspaper. (til this day I no longer watch the news or read papers).
I found this this poem that she wrote, and I decided to complete it into a melody and arrangement. (She was always writing little poems and jingles) She played guitar and piano, and this is where I get all my talent from. I miss her a lot and wish she can hear what i have done with her works. We are in the age of sharing.. so I share this with you all.
Like most people in this country, my mom was an immigrant coming to America for a better life for her family and the American dream. She dedicated her life to helping others as she was a very strong community person on local levels up to state level involvement.
This year marks the 10th year this that tragic day of 9/11, my word to all is for us to wake up, learn truth and vow ourselves a life of love, abstaining from violence and wars, promote peace and unity and deny materialism, greed and selfishness.
Thank you mom for all your love and support. I know you are with me always, watching and protecting, may your blessed spirit rest in peace fro all eternity.
peace to you all!
