Share Your Music

God gave us each our own music
and the world to be our stage
but most of us are living
with our music still unplayed

This gift that we are given
is ours to use if we dare
it is our greatest tool
to show how much we care

“Martin” shared his music
gave us all a dream
his message was very simple
“Let Freedom Ring”

“John” stood up and played his music
the song he shared was true
“Don’t ask your country to make things right
ask instead what YOU can do”

A diminutive committed lady
so fragile and so weak
“Teresa” touched every nation
each time that she would speak

A simple comic and actor
he shared his special song
“Bob” lifted up our spirits
from World War II to Vietnam

One song was sung so long ago
that’s been shared throughout the years
a “Carpenter” gave his music
that will save all those who hear

Your music has the power
our future’s in our hands
never doubt that words can change the world
it’s the only thing that ever has

This poem is amazing and is probably one of my favorite poems. I did not write it but I admire the person who did. I fell in love with it as soon as i read it and hopefully others will too.

If he sent it to the responants…

Dear Mr. Graydon :( colon)

 My eyes are fully open to your awful situation

So Im writing you this letter to offer compensation

When the letter that you wrote to me arrived here tuesday morning

I discovered upon reading that we shuld have given you warning

Since the only possibility is that our wax is rancid

Im sending you a refund of all the money you advanced

Im sorry, but we have improved the floorwax batter

 I hope you dont take your business else where

so I hoped we solved this matter.

Enclosed you’ll find a small container of the new stuff i talk about

just carefully remove the lid and

take a whiff if you’ve a doubt

I hope you did not have to alert the daily papers

about the news of how your office was affected by our vapors

which is why i choose to write to you this confedential letter

full of strong reccomendation that you use the new floorwax batter

I just hope it didnt require you to have your floor relaid

and if it did i will pay the bill.

Sincerley,

John Hudson

School Poem

 The battle of the day

Is getting to the end

There are much better ways

This day could be spent

I answer teachers questions

I always raise my hand

The school is like my master

And I’m its robot on command

School gave me stress today

And worried all my friends

We fought a battle in the war

To put it to an end

One stressful day of school

For some may be one day

For others like me its different

Each day we have to pay
