Music Mirrors Life

Naivete' gets in the way of what can go wrong. Youth have a way of dancing to every love song. In early years I had no fears, daughter then a wife but rarely does everything go as we planned in life. 'Life's a Dance' and experiences teach us as we go from trusting souls to questioning adults as we grow. Sometimes we follow and there are times when we lead. Sometimes love ends in heartache. That's when we bleed. In those early years there wasn't much that I feared and dread was never a word that I revered. When my singing stopped and music ended in sorrow I didn't give up on hope, for there's always tomorrow. ****************** So, I continued to 'Dream On' with hopes I still had, trying to remember the good times and forget the bad. I had to put the past behind because it was gone. How quickly it went by like time between dusk and dawn. Isn't that the way life collects the dues its owed. When kissed, each Prince Charming turned out to be a toad. I grew weary pretending to be someone I was not. So, I left and didn't look back like the wife of Lot. I wrote of my life's adventures on many parchment pages~ my legacy or a comedy of errors acted upon life's stages. Not yet, has the final curtain been drawn on my career for in these autumnal years another song plays in my ear. ******************** I got tired of waiting for life to be the happy place where I once smiled, before frowns covered my face so, at last I found the courage to set myself free and started singing about the things I liked about me. I stopped wailing the blues in these glorious days and making up all kinds of alibis and trivial ways to worry about things, so I'm living in the present. My attitude is carefree, and each day is pleasant. 'Living in the Moment' leaves no room for expectations. I enjoy relationships and sometimes give in to temptations. The life I thought would be mine, at last I am living and I discovered there really is much more joy in giving. If you had a 3 song Playlist about your life, what would they be and why? 1.
