Song For The Asking

There's a simple melody, nothing fancy, that I've been moving to through the years. Now and again, new verses compose themselves. I write them down. Then I pass them on.

These verses are for you, for your friends, family, students, and colleagues. They're free. You are welcome to download them, copy them, and to give them to anyone whom you think might enjoy them.

If you feel moved to respond to the essays in any way, please do so. You can write to me anytime at bf@brucefertman.com

Yours,
Bruce Fertman
