sing me a song he asked of me to sing and I, I am not Sarah or Barbra or Celine so sing, I do not, for no song reigns in my heart though music fills my soul so I said, in whisper, quietly, when I cannot be out listening to the cottonwoods whisper, and sing their song of shimmering, or the birds tell me their stories, or hear the lawn sigh under my toes, as nature unfolds before me all her glories as the leaves play skip along the sidewalk to be where I am safe, in heart's home and sure, where one might hear song in just my talk, I take what I have and sing in my heart along with them and fly and then he smiled beguiled, just a wee bit, as now before him, he could see it, that all along there was a song in my soul *dedicated to all the great divas out there....* |

Great dedication to the divas....I have written hundreds of song lyrics and have listened to so many people try to sing and always appreciated the effort although many should be honest with themselves and realize that the song may just be in their soul only! I think this is an honest poem from your point of view. You don't have to be a singer to have music in your soul! Very enjoyable! |

Lady: "I take what I have and sing in my heart along with them" Without a song in your heart...there is no music. This was much enjoyed! |

So soft, so insightful, and so honest...I loved this one big time! I do Celine but no one hears. "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! yes, there's a song in your soul, but I say one doesn't have to be Barbra, Celine or even Maria Callas...we are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, even if it's a noise, if it is our song, our song of joy or of need, of praise or pain, we must make it...so sing, even if you must go into the woods in order to sing with the confidence one needs to share their emotions with Him. bye, I think I'm going to the woods! |

Interloper, Captain, kindly said...thank you!... Auguste, a Wow from you is kindness itself...thank you... Ethome, be safe in the knowledge that I know my limitations....and only the shower hears.... Thank you very much, James... Martie, music and songs are very much a part of my life....sometimes the best thing to do is appreciate another's voice and melody... Marge...Hugging you RIGHT back.... Sven...small laugh....see above....but thank you.... magnolia...there IS music everywhere.... Artistic...thank you so very much for coming in to read... Lady Santos, to be read twice by one of the best here, is a compliment in itself, thank you... Mysteria, do Celine then, please! I do duck.... Virginia, indeed, mine is more noise, but joyful to me...thank you, and enjoy your walk! |
