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

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
