I Cried a Lot Today

I went to YouTube Looking for the sunshine song "You are my sunshine" For my little sunshine Then I ran into Johnny Cash Then that song and his voice made me sad Then I went to Google and read his story because I didn't know him Then I was amazed Then I listened to more of his songs I cried with "ain't no grave" And then I clicked "hurt" And from there I was all tears I couldn't stop listening to that song I couldn't stop crying I cried so much that my head hurt and became foggy I worried so much that I called and woke my parents up Very early in the morning just to check on them And then I continued listening to that song Reading the comments below it Crying some more Until I slept

Sometimes music and lyrics strikes us either to tears or to smiles.. :) enjoyed the light way you presented this poem though the theme is about sadness.. =`)

Look what you did to yourself, baby! I wish you had found the sunshine song. This has happened to me and you expressed it well: the unsolicited draw of a song that won't let you go ... CayCay
