There are so many, many things
I wish that I could say…
Compel you to believe them-
But, sadly, there’s no way.

No matter how I struggle,
The words just come out wrong-
As I sit in deep frustration…
I simply cannot write a song.

I do not have the words or means
To say what’s in my heart.
Though people often tell me-
The things I write are art.

So, I sit here quite befuddled-
As the feelings are so strong-
And yet I cannot voice them-
As I cannot write a song.

Then what is the music I hear in my heart, John, that enchants me and elates me and fills me with joy when I read your poetry, if it isn’t a song?  And I feel what is in your heart!
