For so many years I have listened,
Listened to music,
Music of all types.
I even listen to opera,
And go and watch it.
I have my favourites of course,
Rigoletto and Tosca
Both at the top of my list,
My list of so many I enjoy.
Now there has come another,
Although I have heard it
I have never listened to it,
Yesterday I did.
Such a wonderful sound assailed me,
Why I had I not listened before?
The wonder of the music stopped me
As each note played and sung
Sailed through my heart,
Bringing all emotions to me.
I was so enthralled with the music,
The music of La Forza del Destino,
That Force of Destiny was with me.
I played it once more,
Six hours of new found wonder,
Bringing so much joy to my life.
