Life Out Loud

One year on will I be gone For no one really knows when those final doors will close Before goodbyes, adios, au revoirs I yearn to go out with a bang if I can to swim with dolphins to sing and to dance to play in an orchestra a piano perchance For the last few years I’ve cried so many tears and the future is looking no better So to cheer myself up I write my future self an uplifting, inspirational letter Dearest Me I send this plea to hear my heart sing a jolly 'ting a ling' With no more tears With no more fears As I happily spend my final years In a world inside my head singing and dancing instead Beneath blue skies ~ no sign of cloud I am joyously living life out loud Onwards and upwards no stopping me now as I climb the tallest mountain board a spaceship to the moon and with gossamer wings I will fly like a bird as I sing aloud the sweetest song that you have ever heard So no time left for letter writing My life ahead looks so exciting…
Written 19th September 2021 Contest Letter to your future self Sponsor Silent One 3rd Place Contest A STRAND (1049) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE
