CINDY L. SPEAR
(Lyrics – Forgive Me My Son)
“As poet Arthur O’Shaughnessy wrote: We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams. As artists we aspire to be “movers and shakers” and that means raising a voice in song that reminds us that we are Guardians of the Earth, to protect and preserve life for present and future generations. One thing that threatens our world is war. And one major negative effect of it is death: death of dreams, people and wildlife. In war there are many casualties including the environment. We must unify and do all we can to ward off wide spread devastation for “Death’s sting is cold.” It is my pleasure to contribute lyrics to this worthy cause that Mark (Truey) has initiated.”
Cindy L. Spear is known by many as the Musician’s Poet and has written lyrics for many established singers and composers of various musical styles around the world. She has two published books of poetry “Favoured by Romance” and “Awakened” as well as poems, photographs and feature articles in various literary journals and major newspapers.
Cindy has been featured many times on CBC radio and television and on the historical DVD “When the ships Sailed In” a project of the Great Irish Famine 150th Anniversary Commemoration Committee. The late Dr. Fred Cogswell of Fiddlehead Poetry Books, English Professor Emeritus UNB and member of The Order of Canada stated: “Cindy L. Spear’s poetry and lyrics express simply, melodiously, purely, some of the best impulses of the human spirit.”
