For My Friend Bruce Thomas

Bruce,
Thank you for sharing that the loss of Dan Fogelberg took you by surprise too.
We not only share the love of our beautiful grand-daughter Cohen; but also a love for the same kind of music.
Here are the lyrics of another great story telling song by Dan that I thought you might enjoy:

Lessons Learned

You
With the past at your back
And the future unsure
Asked for the chance to try love once more
Well aware of the consequences should the dream fall through
You threw down your last defenses wanting to find something new

You found me
In a sea of confusion drifting with the tide
Living
On love that had long since died

But every time that our eyes meet, baby
I feel more alive
And I'm reminded how much you've made me
Believe in the love that survives

Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once
Is the knowledge gained
worth the price of the pain
Is the spoil worth the cost of the hunt?

Borne
On the first warm winds of feeling newly found
Fly
But remember don't look down
Take as much as you think you ought to
Give as much as you can
Don't forget what your failures taught you
Or else you'll learn them all over again

Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once

God bless you Bruce!
