Waiting Underground... patti smith

&feature=artist

I am waking up right now with my cup of joe
getting ready for another night of who knows
what I find at the nursing home.
I don my clothes of white
and set out for work this night
please surround me with blessing and light.

And I almost missed the request sandwiched in between Patti videos. I hope that you had the blessing and light you needed.

I love Patti Smith. I haven't listened to any of her music for a long time. Thanks for posting.

I've listened to patti for many years
Even covered her when I played in bars
And wondered if people had eyes and ears
To see the horses from the stars

I will be needing blessings and light again tonight

Nursing homes are tough. I worked in a State Veterans Home for 13 years before I got hurt. Empathy and compassion for the good works you do.

It's nice to know somebody else who has worked in this age on Earth within nursinging homes. Bless you for all you have done to ease the suffering of those within your charge. Thank you.

For years but I never really fully explored her work.......Maybe it's time.
I LOVE the second track the first time I heard that was on the show Millinium when the psychic was losing her mind!
Thanks Icymist!
