My Song

(Trying Sunshines Challange)

There is no single song
     So many I'd need to fit all of me
Chains the first I'd choose
     But I've found the key
So Freedom follows as I burst free
     Searchin next as I begin to leave
But Back Home is where I'd be
     On Silent Wings my soul would fly
A Touch Of Heaven is what I see

  
So my song would be
     A celebration of all of me
I may Miss You Nights
     But I'll Stay away to be free
Now And Forever is a long time
     And Always I'll forever be
Lost Without You and your love
     But Time After Time it's me
Who's said How Do I Live


Marsha

Marsha, I'd say you hit the nail on the head...

my challenge was to have people open up on what music does to them...what songs have touched their lives...

the way they got to express it was their own challenge...

Marsha...
         this 'song' escaped me the first time around, so I'm glad Mark brought it back to read. It's great, as all your works are, and I enjoyed the way the titles fit so well into your thoughts!!
       I wonder if the challenge is still on?
Then again, as a singer, I'd have a hard time choosing!! Ha!!
          Great writing, my friend!!

Sunny why thank you, as I said the challange was fun but did I have to rack my feeble brain for this. Now you would be able to do it with one hand tied behind your back, and still create a stunner. Anyway I'm glad you stopped by because I always enjoy hearing from you
Take care

Marsha,
I'm glad I found this before it disappeared. I think the challenge was well met in your poem, very well met indeed.

Kethry, now isn't that just like you, you say such nice things and I don't deserve them I really don't. But I thank you for making me think that I'm getting somewhere. I always appreciate your comments and the fact that you've taken the time to read my poem. So thank you

Wonderful response to the challenge Marsha! You've not only met, but exceeded it. It's not easy to incorporate all of these songs as beautifully as you have done ... very lovely!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Marsha - great poem.  I think you approach lul Krailea's challenge from a unique viewpoint - good for you.  I would love to take on this challenge, but I haven't had much success finding any songs about walking a plank and kitty cats - lol.

Kit you are far to kind, I'm glad you liked it. I thank you for stopping by to read this. It was great fun, but I can't see me doing too many of these challanges. Yes Kit it is because they're hard, my brain isn't used to working you know.

Anyway thanks, for your kind words, I cherish each reply because I know I don't deserve them. Your work is beautiful by the way.

LngJhn thanks for reading this. Unique yes best way to describe me, well I better be, if there were two of me running around the world wouldn't be very safe. The queen of chaos that's me.

Hey how's this for you Lngjhn,

I Am The Pirate King
And With Cat-Like Tread
I am a Wandering where
And I'm Searchin'
High And Low for
My Angel Of Mine

I know you could do better, Take care
