Hi Tracy. Welcome. Do I detect a Celtic influence here?
This is a good song and a really good sound.
If I was forced to nit pick I would change the line "a little stick, blood is thicker than water" To me it doesn't add up.
Also you seem a little hurried singing "when your mother passed you seemed so frightened by life's hour glass". Removing the "so" may help.
On the whole though this is very nice. Nice voice too.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
