“STRUMMING ON MY GUITAR”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
I’m just a gentle guitar playing man, quiet and mild,
even sing a song now and then,
smoothly, while I smiled…
I also do some lead, which means picking each string,
play rhythm too, and many say my voice,
is quite the thing…

Picking and strumming I do, but very sad inside,
didn’t really show it though,
as I learned ways, how to hide…
One night on stage I looked around, and there she was,
caught my eye she did,
and I sang to her a love song, just because…

I played rhythm and sang softly, thinking I couldn’t miss,
and before the night was over,
she gave me one, tender kiss…
She stole my tired heart, chased away the sadness,
I don’t have to hide it anymore,
for now it’s full of happiness…

These days she holds my hand right on stage,
her lovely voice singing to par…
this beautiful woman I sang a song to,
while “Strumming On My Guitar’…

One day, I hope to hear a love song played... just for me.... just because. *S* This is lovely, Bill!

I love this. Just last night I was thinking I should write a poem about my late husband and his guitar. It was an important part of him. Joyce

Just A Woman - yes, and I do love the magic.

suthern - I just so happened to have written a love song and are working on it right now. I will post the words soon, and it's called
"Caring Eyes". Do look for it.

Marge Tindal - a'hhh, thank you for the kind words Marge. And I love to pick and grin.

Joyce Johnson - I'm sorry to hear about your late husband. And I'm sure that it was very meaninful to him. Thanks for stopping by.
