Wrote You A Song

Wrote you a song today

to say I love you with music -- 

a lot of hits were written that way
about a special person in a composer's
life -- 

Wrote you a song today
hoping you will sing along:

Hear tell that love's a harmony
hearts in tune keeping time
no Gershwin, can't write Rhapsody
just my own true words
about you, in everyday heart-felt
rhyme

don't know 4 quarter 5 quarter
it's all just mine
we broke every rule
but somehow turned out fine
--------------------------------------

wrote you a song today
did my very best

uncomplicated, all sincere

purposely left some spaces
hoping you will pen-in
the rest...

wrote you a song today
wanting to publicly profess

to dispel if any doubt

to say how much you mean
to me, how much all the years
have meant to me~ how I ask dear 
God that He like me, will always 
love, cherish and bless you --

A song expressing love for one needn't rhyme or be consistent with stipulated rules. What is needed is sincerity of feelings. This poem has that quality. Music has the ability of enhancing love and the poem you have written publicly professes your love for your beloved. Well done Joe

When one's heart sings love, the voice is that of a great tenor or diva to the ears of Heaven.

Great ending prayer. Loving a person in song comes from the heart and is of better quality than that of any famous composer.
