Happy Thursday?
Michele, Temar and Francesca
Sometimes you don’t need a reason
Not a birthday
Not a holiday
Just celebrating the day that is
The friends that are
New and old
And the music that makes it all
Allright….
Or as poet Lucille Clifton writes:
come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
So, Happy Thursday to all of you who were here in body and spirit last night at Toukouleur.
