Filled With Song

Many people spend their days
With total inattention
To any music, which to me
Defies my comprehension.

The radio’s flipped on as soon
As I get out of bed
And plays all day except for times
The TV’s on instead.

From classical to blues to rock
My world is filled with song
And only when there’s music
Do I feel that I belong.

Without some melody, a home
Is quiet as a tomb
But with those notes surrounding me,
My spirits start to bloom.

The wonderful thing about 2020 is that technology has enabled people to organise music to their personal preferences. What better way to relieve depression? Another WELL DONE, Ilene! Aloha! Rico

Ilene, this lovely poem is MY song! I have listened to the radio several hours a day since I was a small child! Janice

Music truly adds to the quality of our lives, Ilene. If we're isolating at home, it makes us less lonely. I'm glad music lifts your spirits! We can all use a lift this year. Hugs, Carolyn
