This Love by Annie May Willis
*This Love is teaching my mind to be gentle, forgiving, and kind.
And I am coming home to you, with this love coming pourin’ through*
Music is medicine for the heart and soul. Sometimes, a well-timed song can be exactly the healing we need. All of these songs came through at the time I needed to hear them, and I hope they offer the same to you.
