Donna,

I know it takes a lot of skill to write good lyrics. I didn't mean there isn't a lot of effort put in to it (poor choice of words on my part). When the lyrics work, it looks easy to folks but it is not.

Good lyricists like yourself who can take words and make a wonderful story out of them - I think the real skill of writing lyrics is in the "making it interesting part" and the rewriting and rewriting to make it just right - wow the patience involved.

It takes a good vocabulary and a total devotion to the art and I admire someone with that talent.
