My Song

I wish I could sing
able to burst out in tune
my song could touch every heart
it would make you all dance
it might make you cry
you'd forget all your woes
my song would be begged for
over and over
I'd share it gladly
we'd sing it out endlessly
and never stop to bicker again
the song would lift us all
But alas, I can't sing
my dream is not to be
I couldn't hold a tune
never found it that easy
so I sit and listen
to the voice of others
who live the dream
and let them lift me.

Good words! I have the opposite problem, I can carry a tune but sometimes I just have these writer's blocks when it comes to writing words!
And thanks for the encouraging words about my clips, I do wonder about them. :)

Elaine, your writing is always bittersweet. A little bit sad sometimes, but entwined with a kindness that is Your Brand. You are too humble, dear Eeyore. Right in tune.

Much Love,

Hi Elaine,

I am just wandering around the blogs. Even if you can't sing, the words touch hearts! This is very beautiful.
