So today marks the 25th anniversary of when we lost a great person of the musical world to cancer.
Born February 6, 1945 Bob Marley created beautiful, poignant, and inspiring music that touches base with every generation that comes across his songs.
I forget exactly when or how I was introduced to his music.
I do remember searching for every single track he ever touched afterwards though.

One of my personal favorites:

Bob Marley - Waiting in Vain

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

From the very first time I placed my eyes on your girl
My heart said follow through.
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting here is fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if your think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come

See
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

'Cause Summer is here I'm still waiting here
Winter is here and I'm still waiting there

Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more

Oooh girl oooh girl
Is it feasible, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more

Ya see
In life I know there's lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes girl
Tears in my eyes girl while I'm waiting for my turn

See
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain
I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain

It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's your love that I'm running from
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's your love that I'm running from...

One can only hope to make music as timeless as his.
I think that's one reason I don't like posting my personal lyrics.
I want to make damn sure it's high-quality 'fore I share.
