Hey Louis:
This is lovely - gorgeous simple melody and lyric. Really like the way you repeat the title line twice.
No real suggestions - feels pretty close to me. I did wonder how the last time through "all things are possible" would sound with two beats each on "poss" and "ib" instead of the 4 on each you are using....
Nice to see a new one from you....
Scott

Thanks that's one place I wasn't to certain about, I'll have to try your suggestion.

Wish I could create a melody like that. Very nice. I like the simple arrangement, it fits the song well. I'd like to hear some more of that flute, though.

Louis,
I agree with the other comments that this is a beautiful melody in your inimitable style. You seem to have an infinite store of lyrics and melodies and you simply have to pick which ones you will use on any given day. Very peaceful and inspiring work.

Louis, Amen! Awesome melody and message! I like the melody and beautiful simplicity of your vocals with guitar. Great songwriting concept and musical treatment on this subject! Lot's more folks should tune in and hear it! Blessings & happy holidays! Michael ------------------ The OUTLOOK may often appear bleak, but the UPLOOK is always bright!

Louis,
I like how the vocal melody joins and breaks away from the guitar line! Very nice!
When I really "listen" to your voice, I can hear a lot going on there, if you know what I mean.
Let me explain, I can hear the pains and joys of a life lived. I can experience and what I call "farmer smarts" which means a down to earth wisdon that is firmly aligned with universal principles and values!
I hear the history of the ages and the romantic subtle "twang" of the deep south and I honestly love it all!
I think your true gift besides your wonderfully organic guitar playing, inspiring songwriting, and your character of spirit, is the way your voice communicates these meaningful lyrical sentiments on a much deeper level than words could ever express!
your music is so powerful in it's simplicity!
A pleasure to enjoy,
Accel

Accel, my most kind friend, I really appreciate your words. Your so eloquent with your comments. They are encouraging to me. I've actually lived this song and discovered it's truth. The gift's allow me to communicate it. Amazing journey.

Louis,
nice honest approach, comes off very genuine, you asked for what might improve it, I would suggest a little lift or melody rise somewhere as my only crit was that it seems a bit flat melodically, I would work it a bit as it has a very nice core melody that the listener takes away with them. All the best, Moker

Moker, thanks, yep I think your probably right about the melody, esp in the chorus part.
