There's a new song I keep hearing Its lyrics consist of one word It is by far the most precious This heart of mine has ever heard. Hope's pure voice soars on the lead part She had almost died years ago But she came out of seclusion To offer her sweet soprano. Faith's shy alto blends smoothly And her confidence really shows Once crippled, the cost to restore her Is something no one really knows. An entire ensemble's on tenor - Chuckles, Grins, Laughter, and Smiles The gang is having a grand time They'd dropped out of sight for a while. Adding bass, Trust's voice is steady Though slightly hoarse from lack of use He had been silent for decades After suffering much abuse. Their harmony lifts my spirits And I know I won't be the same I'm enthralled by this song they made In simply repeating your name. |

Okay, who are you and what have you done with suthern????  I know I saw her name on this piece but when I read it, it turned out to be a "HAPPY" poem, so, what's up with that? Well, whoever you are, I might as well reply to the poem since I am here. First off, the rhyme scheme is wonderful and the words are magical, the cadence is dead on and I do so love the positive tone in the song you are singing. Beautiful write and I expect it to hit the top ten this week. Now, if you don't mind, could you point me in the direction of where you hid our cherished poet so that I might at least feed her a bit! Thank you ( oops, we 'preciate ya!!) |

Amazing how the sound of his voice, or even speaking his name, can bring up all those feelings, and happy, beautiful songs. I love this. Sandra |
