This Song

By


A chorus resounds in my ears
I recognize the voice
I’ve heard it times before
It has become my medicine


A chorus resounds in my ears
It gladdens my heart
It calms my nerves
The lyrics- my mantra!


A chorus resounds in my ears
Oh! How sweet the melody!
That put me to sleep every night
And opened doors to my beautiful dreamland


A chorus resounds in my ears
This song now lives in my memory
For I no longer hear it at bedtime
My mother, the singer, has gone to rest...in peace

I doubt so For in this new world I am the audience Another took my stage

Or will my dreams  Remain the only bridge  Upon which our stars cross By Deelivia and Damilare
