MUSIC:

After a day of torrential rain yesterday
which I listened to much music
I recalled the poem I wrote many years ago.
MUSIC:
Where would we be without music?
What a miserable world it would be.
No opera, ballads or soundtracks,
And of course no "X Factor" on TV.

No walking down the aisle to The Wedding March.
On one's very important day.
We wouldn't have heard about Elvis.
Or Frank Sinatra singing "My Way".

Of course there would be no dancing,
As there would'nt be any tunes to dance to.
I would be lost without Christmas Carollers
At Christmas....... well wouldn't you?

We would have missed Elton John's" Candle In The Wind,"
That he dedicated to Marilyn Monroe.
Also the tune English Country Gardens,
Where all the flowers grow.

No rock 'n' roll or The Beatles.
Little Richard and Long Tall Sally.
Yes my friends we would have missed out.
On so many things and perhaps have gone do lally.

Music has much to contribute
To this wonderful world we live.
So  I salute each and every musician
For the wonderful pleasure they give.

    You are so right, Yvonne. The world would be a sad, dreary place without music. Thanks for the reminder of the great musicians, past and present who brighten our days.

    If music be the food of love....play on! Gosh without music life would be dull. Not peace and quiet, just dull and boring! Very true, Yvonne!

    Music is the soundtrack to life, that's for sure. So many memories tied to music. Great poem and you have me thinking about Elton John music - he's playing in the background.

    Music can be so soothing to the soul; like to listen to it while I clean. Makes the time go by faster, at least that is what it seems.
