Music, Could We Live Sweet Life Without It Music, its gifts serenades, so rewards rewards we, wanting to be famous bards bards that struggle for magnificent words words to all mankind, singing as songbirds. Songbirds singing their music truly sweet sweet to, in Life stir, man's tender heartbeats heartbeats racing strong as soft glow showers showers, as if from heaven's high bowers! Bowers above, that set angels to sing sing to mortal man, to greater joy bring bring in deep beauty of music's treasures, treasures, as one of Art's greatest pleasures!

Thank you my friend. Yes, I do what little I can. Sad that more think tis not a worthy goal. As poets we write heart and soul deep. Each to the limits that poetry affects us. And each to how much of ourselves that we dare to give!! God bless....
