Life is a song

In the vast expanse, a tiny bundle of joy, In the cosmic dance, a mere twinkling star, A moment's beat in the timeless convoy, I am, an essence that travels far. A man of roles, a brother's embrace, A father's wisdom, an uncle's care, Love and compassion, a heartfelt grace, Determination to conquer, hurdles rare. Husband and lover, devotion's embrace, In the symphony of life, a prominent part, A man of honor, dignity and grace, Respecting virtues, a work of art. I am the sky, where hopes take flight, The endless ocean, life's ebb and flow, Mighty wind, breathing life so bright, Blazing fire, warmth in every throw. The earth, origin, continuity, destination, In this grand play, a pivotal role, I am the rhythm, life's sweet vibration, An eternal song, touching every soul. In love and despair, I find my rhyme, Happiness and sadness, a dual chime, Everything and nothing, a cosmic mime, Life is a song, through the sands of time.

Dear Jay, i really felt this poem and the sincerity of your emotions expressed here is truly outstanding! Especially as you said “ I am the sky, where hopes take flight, The endless ocean, life's ebb and flow, Mighty wind, breathing life—“ so poetic and so touching every word woven in this is soulful and also fits the theme of the prompt very well with your subtle use of words that goes with it. Excellent! Everyone has roles in life and you’ve put yrs on paper for all to read. Congratulations

Your lines are gently woven around every loving touch I can imagine, Jay. They bring to mind many songs that would fit quite snugly into what I consider tender emotions of love and life.
