Death of a True Warrior

Well this is my first blog on AMP and i thought i would take this opportunity to show you all what i do, quite simply i write songs, or rather lyrics, the song i wrote as a tribute to a very special person, her name is Dawn Reese, she had been fighting cancer for about 2 years when i met her, and what stood out was the pure strength that she had, strength of character, strength of will and strength of mind, she was always amazing to be around, never sorry for herself, never depressed, never bitter, one morning i got up and just put pen to paper, and the words to true warrior flowed, at the time i was a member of songwriter101 and asked online if anyone would like to put music to the words i had written, one gentleman steppwd forward and said he would give it a try, what i got back blew me away, i think it took about two days for him to compose the music and record the vocals, since then it has been played on WIRN radio, who incidently made a cash donation to st judes hospital in dawns name, i truly hope that you get as much out of the song as i have.
