Two Leaf Clover by Natalie Dee

Anyone that knows my back story knows how far I’ve come. In fact, it humbles me when people take a look and see what I’m doing and feel inspired in some way.

Up late… listening to The Streets.  One particular cut took me back to something I wrote exactly five years ago. The song still has that same memory lane affect. Now and certainly then.
