Small Confessions ‘Tis a small confession, but one the Lord will hear when you learn of this, perhaps it’ll make things clear for my heart is on my sleeve when music I do hear as I’ve no voice to carry tune, ‘tho words I do hold dear. I would like to sing, and carry tunes to heaven, true but my voice cracks and breaks when I sing along with you; I think it’s because the music, so pure, raises up my heart while in my throat it there resides, and breaks the tune apart. From the “Star Spangled Banner” to “Voices Raised on High” it could even be from Neil Diamond, most songs do make me cry for I strongly feel the passions, and I know deep the words’ intent so I must sing the words silently, and thus be so content. My other silent, deep confession, to you I’ll let be known is someday my words to be writ in a song, and light be shown, I know not what I’ll write, but someday the words will come for I make up songs in the shower, where I like to hum... So you will know when a shower’s song hits the old Top Ten and if I’m lucky, you will know, my heart will be shown then. ©KRJ 20 November 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine ! I declare ... it's the Shower Songs Of The Night that I carry to my pen. I sing them ... then I write them while they are as fresh as the fragrance of the soap I'm still wearing. Keep singing ... you are not far off-key ! ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

There are so many beautiful poems set to music, soaring melodious words. You can write them. |

This is beautiful, Sunshine! Be sure to let us all know when it happens!! I also must sing to myself as I can't carry a tune. Except,of course, when I am by myself! My dog and cat must be tone deaf too, or very forgiving!  ------------------ Denise |
