'' SING ME A SONG TONIGHT''

'' SING ME A SONG TONIGHT''

A Poem by marilyn 1225
"

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH MUSIC

"
FUNCTIONAL BICEPS
BELLY BLOATING REDUCTION
LIPOSUCTION
BOTOX
GRAVITY PILLS
WONDER BARS
AND WONDER YEARS

NOTHING WILL ERASE
NOTHING WILL TRANSORM
A WITHERED SOUL
A SAGGING SPIRIT
OR  A  GLUCOSE GLOOM

IF  WE CAN BUT SING  
ONE SONG OF OUR MEMORY
OF LOVE OR GOOD TIMES
SING IIT LOUD OR PLAY IT SOFTLY
PERHAPS 
WE CAN ACCEPT AND BE A
HAPPPY SOUL

EVEN FOR A MOMENT
DESPITE
LIFE'S TOLL

I liked this poem. I miss the days of my grandmother song and my grandfather laughter. I agree with your thoughts. Song, laughter and smiles. The gold of life. Thank you Marilyn for sharing your wonderful words and thoughts.

Your note is real...

The poem started-off sounding like some late-night info-commercials. Though I think you nailed the smile at the end.
