The Right Decision For Me

Finding new courage many years ago, I sang a love song in my quiet room. I never sang dancing wearing a plume. Nor did I sing live in a bar’s playroom. I could not, would not, in the public croon. I did sing it once in a studio. Musicians there arranged a background tune. My song went well; and it was good to go! The records came; yes, it was way back then. With my plan in place, I soon hit the road. I traveled on mountain, on hill and glen. Promotions on windshields, my dream echoed. Radio interviews … there were a few. “Make My Dream Come True” flyers passed along. Air play came quickly and out of the blue! From state to state I promoted my song. Security was in one parking lot. Flyers on the cars; they said were No! NO! The hundreds I put out were all for naught. They made me pick them ALL up … BAD; you know! There were great days and many things to see. I thought of fame, and where my life would go. It was one outrageous dream for shy me. So, I chose to give married life a go! 1/15/2017
