Notes About The Poem

I’m Also A Song

 

Hey…

I’m also a song

And I’m not afraid

To sing my own tune

But don’t 

Think me 

Arrogant 

Or selfish

You too

Are a song

To be sung

But this song

Is about me

Rather than 

About you

And if  you

Don’t want to hear

Me sing my song

Just freely close 

Your eyes…

 

In introducing

My song

I give the glory

To the Creator 

For having me

Tuned up

With another 

Sunrise 

Having noted

Some 30 

Full moons

Since my

80th year

Of waxing

And still

Being crooned

Perpendicular  

To the blessed ground

And you can

Depend on me

As I’m still

Rhythmically here

Streaming each day

Via my divine Creator

Beseeching to be

An instrument

Of His peace 

And a perpetual tune

Of His divine love…

 

Oh I am

A song

Sung each day

In the service

Of almighty God

By being 

A soulful rendering

To my neighbors

For I am a song

With lyrics of

Inspirations 

And with

Ever sounding

Rhythms of divine 

Hope and faithful bars

Of never ending beats

Of liberating glory…

Oh I know the day 

Is ever on the way

When I shall

Soon be done

With this troubled

Off beat world

However 

Until then

My echos

Shall reverberate

For I am a song

To be sung

With a gospel choir’s

Motivating chorus

Melodically echoing

Divine wisdom

Supreme love

And faith…

 

And when

I’ve sung

Myself

To the

End

May

I see

God applauding

And whispering: 

Well done my

Singing song

Well done

Now take

Your bow

And go

To your

Rest

Leaving 

Eternal echoes:-
