The Homeland- Music: Kendra P. Burton
Several years ago when I was composing the song "The Homeland", I wanted it
to take the listener back to another time, to a place where one's soul could
connect with the past and with those who have gone before us. We have all
benefited because courageous men and women sought to build a better world for
future generations. They have given us the gifts of life and of freedom.
And now, even recently, we have been challenged to defend these gifts.
We
greatly admire the valiant men and women of our own generation, who so nobly go
before us extending freedom for ourselves and others. This song is also dedicated to them with gratitude and appreciation
as we reflect upon "The Homeland".

Mother's Music Box-
Music: Kendra P. Burton
This song takes me back to a time when
my mother would open a box that had been carefully stored up high in the closet.
A family treasure would appear, a music box. Even though it had been
silent, when it was wound, precious and delicate music would fill the air and
give us a sense of joy and love.

A Witness to Mother's Love-
Music: Kendra P. Burton, Vocal: David G. Burton, Words: Copyright (c) 1999
David G. Burton
When my husband moved away from home
he would call his mother on the phone to visit. During her life, for a
time, she raised her seven children on her own. Over the years they
were able to spend less and less time together. One of these phone
calls she said to my husband, "I don't get to see you much and it seems like I
don't hardly know you." He replied, "you know me mom, I've grown to
become the man you taught me to be."

Live In Peace-
Music: Kendra P. Burton
As I would compose music my daughter
would crawl under the piano to listen and would often fall asleep.
On one of these occasions, concerned that I might wake her, I played this gentle
song to lull her peacefully to sleep.
