Day 25 of NaPoWriMo – “Let’s try a musical form — the ballad. Traditionally, ballads were rhymed poems that told a story of some kind, and were often set to music. If you have any musical talent, it might be fun to try and actually make a tune for your ballad!” Here is what I sang on to my page this morning. I must now write down the tune before it leaves my head.
HEART SONG
What song do I hear my heart sing
as I greet this beautiful dawn?
A song of love or a song of joy,
like the birds sing every morn?
When our sun rises each morning
I will let my spirits rise too,
though I don’t know what the day may bring
or what I’ll be guided to do.
I can be happy regardless
of challenges coming my way.
I control my feelings and my thoughts,
I know I can have a good day.
Love is my constant companion
there is nothing I can’t achieve.
I need to apply my faith and trust
and be true to what I believe.
So what song is my heart singing
as I greet this beautiful dawn?
Its’ a song of love that’s filled with joy
I will sing like a bird each morn.
Repeat last verse.
