TO HONOR MOTHERS: SONG REMEMBERS MOM ‘FOREVER

Lyrics are offered to a song, "We Thought She'd Live Forever", that pays tribute to mothers.

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- In the spirit of Mothers Day, two songwriters are sharing with the world their lyrics to a song that commemorates and celebrates a mothers love.

Lyricists Neal R. Voron and Joseph F.M. Pokorny, of Philadelphia, PA, hope that children, both young and old, who read the words to We Thought Shed Live Forever" will use the opportunity to re-connect with their feelings about and relationship with their mother and others who have been special to them throughout their lives.

The song, written primarily by Voron and modified and put to music by Pokorny, is a wistful reflection upon the loss of a mother for whom time had cast... much too short a line".

We thought we were so clever, we thought shed live forever," the song laments the passing of time and of a loving mother who seemed so grand and in command... But, suddenly, she left us quite in shock."

In the song, the mothers children realize, All thats left are memories, faded pictures, but still we see the love she gave to everyone she knew."

Voron, 40, wrote the song in the late 1980's while contemplating how fast time seems to go by and how we often do not quite show as much appreciation for our loved ones as we would perhaps wish to have done before they are gone.

The children and mother referred to in the song, he said, are symbolic representations he used to express his own feelings regarding his mother, Babs, to whom the song is dedicated. He said he feels fortunate to have been able to share his thoughts with his mother personally through the song -- no one in specific actually died to inspire the lyrics.

Voron said he decided very recently to distribute the songs lyrics because he had never previously aggressively promoted the song and because he believes the lyrics could positively impact a large audience. Individuals can obtain a copy of the lyrics for free by sending e-mail to: forever@voron.com or by visiting http://www.voron.com/forever.htm . Sheet music for the song will soon be available in electronic format at the web site for a suggested voluntary payment of $3.95.

Voron and Pokorny say they may make a recorded version of We Thought Shed Live Forever" available in the near future if people show interest in purchasing a CD by completing a feedback form at the web site.

We Thought Shed Live Forever" is the first song Voron has written. An Internet entrepreneur, he is the president of Voron Communications, his web site development and marketing firm ( http://www.voron.com ). He is the founder of the Night Shift Initiative ( http://www.nightshift.com ), a helpful resource for shiftworkers, their family members, and their employers; and is the developer of AutoResponders.com, ReadyInfo, the Stewdent.com network, and other web sites.

In addition, Voron is the author of The Obstacle Course" and The Spiders Dream Web". The Obstacle Course" is a self-help/inspirational novel about an old but untraditional teacher who takes his students and the reader on an adventure towards self-growth and personal development. The book is expected to be available later this Spring in Adobe PDF, Rocket E-Book, and trade
versions. The Spiders Dream Web" is a mythical short story for children and web lovers everywhere about the birth of the Internet's World Wide Web.

Pokorny, 57, is a published songwriter, composer, choir director, playwright, voice teacher, producer and performer. He has written over 680 compositions varied in style from Contemporary, Broadway, Country, Religious, Jazz, and Rock and Roll -- all professional music, which has touched American and European music lovers, since 1959.

With an effervescent, energetic personality, Pokorny hosts many shows as master of ceremonies. He is also a professional judge with the Performing Arts Alliance. As an arranger, he adapts lyrics to music and music to lyrics for any occasion, helping many writing enthusiasts to fullfill their dream... and his own... in keeping
the performing arts alive.

Voron and Pokorny met years ago after Pokorny became so inspired by a slogan Voron created for a community newspaper at which he was employed that he wrote a song based upon it. From Vorons Love Ya, N.E. Philly!" slogan for the Northeast Times came Pokornys We Love Ya, N.E. Philly!" song. From their ensuing friendship, We Thought Shed Live Forever" transformed from Vorons proposed lyrics to a brought-to-music joint collaboration that serves as a tribute to mothers everywhere.

We thought we were so clever,
We thought she'd live forever.
We knew that she would be there all the time.
We knew she would if she could.
Sometimes we felt she really should.
We thought she'd live forever, forever.

The tales of time, the trails of time,
We never watched the hands of time.
We believed she mastered the old clock.
She seemed so grand and in command,
A flower in a fertile land,
But, suddenly, she left us quite in shock.

We thought we were so clever,
We thought she'd live forever.
We knew that she would be there all the time
We knew she would if she could.
Sometimes we felt she really should.
We thought she'd live forever, forever.

A better woman no man could find.
A loving mother, no child' leave behind,
But time had cast her much too short a line.
All that's left are memories,
Faded pictures, but still we see,
The love she gave to everyone she knew.

We thought we were so clever,
We thought she'd live forever.
We knew that she would be there all the time.
We knew she would if she could.
Sometimes we felt she really should.
We thought she'd live forever, forever,
Forever, forever.
