First, thanks for the visit to my page, I really appreciate that. I'm here for God, family and friends...at the urging of God, Family and friends :o) I am a Very Spiritual person...not religious. My faith lies in Jesus (not organized religion). I love to write, sing and play the guitar and have been since I was about 12. That was a long time ago...Trust me on that. I believe that my writing gets better as I mature and this is an ongoing process that I'm sure has not been completed (HaHa). My singing is probably better than my guitar playing. No lessons and I play by ear, can't read a note or play one, mostly basic chords. Tablature...what is that? Anyway, I pretty much just grab my guitar and my feelings and try to throw them down on paper, so others can feel them too. My guitar has helped me to heal through pain and express my joy. I'm not sure how I would have gotten through some moments in life without it. I believe God gives us all gifts for our personal needs and to help others with those gifts as well. It's helped me so much, if it helps you too..that is AWESOME! I am basically a big kid with a big heart. I like to have fun and when I love someone it's with all my heart. If I can express that through my music, I feel I am successfull in the musical part of my life. Though there is so much more that I am thankful for, music is just my Bullhorn. May God Bless You All, Deana Wilson :o)

Story behind the song
The song is about the discussions My Aunt Sarah and I had prior to her passing away from lung cancer. The song relates to our conversations about love, life, death, her spirit and her faith. Every word in the song is in reference to our time together or important things to her in life. She loved to puzzle (if you went to visit expect to work one), she loved history and the knowledge of our roots/ancestry and truly knew where and who we came from. She was at peace with her own mortality and instead comforted us, she was the planner for every family reunion and made us swear we would continue them when she is gone. She told us if we saw butterflies that was her sign that she was still watching over us. I do miss this very special woman...she will always be a part of my heart. "Waiting on the Other Side" is also very special to me as I truly believe she visited me in a dream to bring me this message of faith, hope and priorities. Hopefully they pay her proper tribute. They helped me to heal through the loss and savour the memories. God Bless, Deana Wilson :o)
Lyrics
Sara’s Song (Reunion Day) C E7 Am F G F G C C9 F G F G F G I held her hand we laughed and we cried I tried to hold back those tears so much I tried. We talked about the good times that we had, she said you know I really miss my Mom and Dad. C E7 Am F C E7 Am F G F G F G …..and I’ve been planning an family reunion somewhere in the sky it’s my time to go and I’ve just got to fly ….. and this is how it’s suppose to be, just keep a little part of her here with me. C C9 F G F G F G She said there’s a peace within my soul that makes me feel so whole you know that it’s not all that far away. You just might hear me in the wind, or feel me by your side, please remember that my love will never die. Keep me in your heart and dreams and know I’m closer than it seems. C C9 F G F G F G She said we’re all just a piece of the puzzle in this journey we call life and he’s calling me home so I must have done something right ...and I said but I don’t want you to go, Sara I love you more than you will ever know. C E7 Am F G F G F G She said she’s gonna get to see Little Ricky, Woody, Bud, and Glen, Nita, Callie and Bessie and some Good Ole Friends…. And this is how it’s suppose to be, she said I’ll take a little part of you there with me. C C9 F G C E7 Am F G F G F G I’m gonna see all the smiling faces from those pictures of our past I’ll get to see them face to face at last. I’m gonna sit at the feet of My Jesus and look him in the eyes thank him for my blessings and all of my family ties. And this is how it’s suppose to be, she said I’ll be waiting for the day when you come see me. C C9 F G F G C C E7 Am F C E7 Am F G F G F G Cause she’ll be planning our family reunion somewhere in the sky when it’s our time to go, we’ll get to fly away to our reunion day. She said there’s a peace within my soul that makes me feel so whole you know that it’s not all that far away. You just might hear me in the wind, or feel me by your side, please remember that my love will never die. Keep me in your heart and dreams and know I’m closer than it seems. C C F CC9 F G F G C F G F G C F C F Cause we’re all just a piece of the puzzle in this Journey we call life and he’s calling her home it’s her time to Fly away. Listen Babe it’s my reunion Day. Sara…spread your wings…oh fly away….to your reunion day. Your reunion Day to your reunion Day....Go ahead and fly away.
