Sunday Morning
Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – May 9, 2004 – Kris Kristofferson wrote a wonderful song called Sunday Morning Coming Down that I’ve always loved. The lyrics are beautiful and whenever I hear it, I stop and think a moment, mostly about family. The chorus touches something in my soul.
