Songs In-Progress...


Following are excerpts from original songs written and composed by Marie Whitman.

Look for music release in early 2016 and live performance mixing spoken word and original song, coming to a venue near you...

Excerpt of "Wash" by Marie Whitman from Eat Your Poem and Marie Whitman on Vimeo.

...Wash (excerpt only)

If I clean up the mess...Left behind
Whisper a promise...To lock it inside
My muscles and bones
Can carry alot
Got used to life
Feeling heavy and hard
Wash...over me
Love
Wash...over me


Dedicated to all those families raising kids with special needs. Especially inspired by the Diana family. Dina Diana runs the organization and support group
PROWD: Parents Raising Offspring With Disabilities.

Apple  (video excerpt/full lyric below)

Held my child when he was small
Vowed to love him through it all
I imagined we would be
A perfectly blessed family

The apple of my eye...My son, high in my sky
He brought me deep...Waves of devotion
His smile is the moon...Over my ocean

All too soon our world would change
Our sweet son was not the same
Doctors and their labels came
"Disabled child"...replaced his name

The apple of my eye...My son, high in my sky
He brought me deep...Waves of devotion
His smile is the moon...Over my ocean

It's not the way
I thought it would be
People say they'll pray
For my family
So was there something I missed
Where's your God in all of this?
Tell me, where's your God in this?

So I learn and I learn again
I am perfectly blessed when...
I rest my fists and I let go
Change my eyes and I see him whole
Change your eyes and see what's whole

The apple of my eye...My son, high in my sky
He brought me deep...Waves of devotion
He grew my faith
Taught me hope and
He fills my heart
Splits it wide open....

With a smile like the moon...Over my ocean...
