Listen To the Beat
I wish I could get in the groove,
As I used to years ago
My body parts won't move
When my heart pleads with them to go.
The music is fantastic,
With that perfect beat
My legs feel like elastic
When I stand up on my feet
A singer is trilling,
An old favourite song of mine
Her voice is not thrilling
But it brings back memories, Divine
Next, the sound of a drummer
Giving his very best
Rendition, putting his version
Of Rhythm to the test.
Rhythm brings Joy
To everyone who listens
It makes you want to dance
Or it can make your eyes glisten,
Glisten with tears,
Both Happy and sad,
Feeling the rhythm of life, you had
And still, have that today.
It will stay with us all
Until we quietly fade away.
