I’ve always loved my music-
It’s brought me peace and calm.
When a person’s soul is aching,
It provides a soothing balm.
It has added some stability-
To a life oft torn by strife.
The attraction has not faded,
As I near the end of life.
Country, while a youngster-
Was quite my cup of tea-
Soft rock while in the service-
Had a special hold on me.
Joni Mitchell’s voice was crying-
CCR were getting down-
And many now forgotten bands-
In the sixties did abound.
Janis Joplin died too early-
I guess I have lived to long.
And life is not worth living,
If you do not have a song.
I have done a lot of writing-
But the words all come out wrong-
But in truth I’m disappointed-
For I cannot write a song.
