Sing Us a Song

Day by day we carry on Good days, bad days, through out the years Joy and laughter or sadness and tears No matter the mood, we still look to you And you... you sing us a song Day by day we carry on Celebrate life and love with all our might When all is good and the sun shines bright We stop, soak it all in and look to you And you... sing us a song Day by day we carry on We've been lonely, lost, and overcome with despair Setbacks and losses, we've had our fair share For guidance and advice, nothing has changed We look to you. And as always, you sing us a song Day by day we carry on Your legacy remains, it is alive and strong Your wisdom and love never lead us wrong As promised, your love is everlasting and we look to you Sing us a song A song to bring courage when our strength is low You have our back, forever, we know A song that brings comfort during a hard time It whispers so softly, glad you're mine A song to encourage us, to help us push through There's no quitting, yes, we hear you A song to remind us just who we are You're singing now, you are never far A song to let us know you're smiling too Because even in the best moments, we wish for you Day by day we carry on Thankful for what was and for all that is yet to come No reason to fear the future, we know where we come from That love, that memory, will keep us looking to you Sing us a song

Jessie, this reads like a song lyric, is it set to music? "A song to bring courage when our strength is low" sounds like my kind of song. Beautifully written words of wisdom to have as your first submission - welcome to Poetry Soup; I hope you find it a welcoming and nurturing place for your talents to thrive ~ John

I wish it was! In my head my writings often feel like lyrics but unfortunately I do not have the musical talent to match it to a melody lol. Thank you for the kind words! Poetry Soup has been so welcoming and kind. So glad that I joined.
