Song about the moon

Bloggin’ away the day.

It’s been a painful and emotional day with the loss of our oldest pet, a terrapin named Mashed Potato. M.P. had been a member of our household since 1988. We will miss the way he would happily paddle at the surface when he saw someone he knew. We will miss his little smiling face. Yes, I think he could smile. He will be missed!

Today’s song - written about the time Mashed Potatoes was hatched- has a few lines that ring true with me today….

“…And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night

So if you want to write a song about the heart

And it's ever longing for a counterpart…”.

When you are blessed with a pet for so long, its loss can make your heart feel like it could explode, and you want to write a song memorializing the bond you shared.
