Where my song is mother only sang when she was happy but never to hear her own voice, no never to do it to please others, no only when she was happy… dad sang all the time in the shower, in the yard, always humming a song ‘neath his breath or in clear voice even when his day had gone far wrong a whistle would emit a little tune, or two and that, my friends, is the clue when I am happiest, I do not sing when I am worried, the songs come forth that is where my song is, to lift mine own heart. |

Karilea, I sometimes catch myself singing without realizing I'm doing so. Sometimes my son and I will make up goofy lyrics and have a great time just being silly. Very good write here. Thanks!Michael Proust- |

Thought provoking poem. I know people who are like both your mother and father and then others who sing whether sad or happy or just whistle or sing their fears away. Take all kinds to make the world go round. |

"Sing....sing your song Sing it gentle To last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough For anyone else to hear Just sing...sing your song" |

Got me thinking - When do 'I' sing? = like mom or pop? - then I thought of "I whistle a happy tune" (King and I) and smiled again I really liked this = |

I sing when I'm cleaning the house, just like my mom. Lovely little sun ray, thanks for sharing! |

Many times in human behavior we "notice" things others miss. That's a profound observation you have made. How different people do the same activity with totally different reasons and .... motives. I think you should expand on this whole train of thought.... of how 2 ppl, do the same things.... but for different and unique reasons. i.e. .... She folds the towels 3 folds to fit in the closet and hit folds them 2 folds...... cus it's easier.... but they both have their reasons........ and compromise... is the true art of love. very thought provoking indeed.. you have my mind buzzing. Thanks for writing this |

Karilea--I have always loved to sing...since a child in bed, with my brother in the next room yelling for me to, "be quiet". I still do, but try to be more considerate of those around me. (usually) Wonderful poem! |

a cheerful, hopeful, honest write... i sing when i get home... it's the exact opposite of the mundane school and work "Many great relationships start or end in a bar. |
