Song for my dad youtu.be/4oE6B5oUs0M?...

I wrote a personal essay for Local News Pasadena about my dad, use the link here to read it if you would like. localnewspasadena.com/2025/my-fath... #michaelmadsen #madsen

Boots You’ve been hovering above me For so long And now that your boots fit It’s like I was you all along. I’ll wear them all over town, It’s like you never left, At least for the ground. I won’t forget your scent, I can’t forget your sound, You were never meant To be quietly found.

Officially a nervous office worker!
