I, personally have written over forty songs and I can understand how you must feel, as you well know once it hits the internet its all game, but that doesen't give us excuse to print it. The only problem is when you get it in an email as author unknown, sometimes its so good you just have to share it, and it is a wonderful piece.
Please forgive me and God Bless You for contacting me.
