I Sang

I sang melodies and choruses for the choir Written and composed by maestros The harmonies soared for earth’s life time hour Even those that proclaimed the holy cross I sang Handel’s Alleluia Chorus As I did the songs of us Singing ‘Stand and Sing...’ To respond “Proud and free” Mozart’s Ave verum corpus Charmed me into the love of sound That would fill the Church’s campus And the fragile heart all round In the sounds of the maestros budded The sound deserving no apology The voice clear; all rounded The humming and bursts like a eulogy Then I sang not to entertain I sang to express The truth I humbly contain Oh! To be true, I do not need the press I though may not forget The words of life’s wisdom From the lyricists of old That ‘to thyself be true’ Copyright ©April.2012. Moonga Nsamu. All rights Reserved.
