The Music In Me

I have a peaceful easy feeling As I sit and write this poem Comprising 5 old songs Which remind me of my home They show me the importance They teach me with such grace To get up every morning With a smile on your face My youth was filled with ballads Verses I could trust And we all know what memories bring... They bring dia-monds and rust Songs taught me that my friends were The wind beneath my wings To treasure and embrace them To value what life brings There's a crack in everything That's how the light gets in For me, 'bout sums it up The hope one feels within Sometimes a simple sound Or smell can be so strong It carries me back light years To one specific song And in that song I bask I know what each line means Transcended to the past Dressed in my tie-dyed jeans.
