Notes

Lorna



You tolerated when I sang

Even smiled

I couldn’t sing a note really

So I dance around the house now

I do that pretty well

More my thing

But since you’re gone

If I’m not crying I am singing

My badly fluted notes take off

Involuntarily skyward to you

Maybe the journey will round them out

Take off those rough edges

And play for you like the harp symphony

They’re trying to be

      Well, I think your dodgy notes will bring him back quicker than you think, and that's a good thing. Plus, singing is good for you, the neighbours tell me all the time.

        Well if they're not throwing things at you you must not be yowling like a cat..... so you are one of the lucky ones.....

              True love only hears the notes, especially when recalled as sung here

              • Lorna

                Thanks Suresh - but I truly have an awful voice! Even in the shower......

                simply splendid ..........................with or without those imagined rough edges ............. objectively, smooth as silk

                  As ol Abe said "You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time....but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"..... so not exactly where this falls on that scale...... just laughing.... don't have to answer this.....

                  Wonderful words Lorna, I am sure that those notes will reach him with a beautiful sound that he will keep with him forever.

                    I will send him your beautiful Kathleen Ferrier instead......... or maybe to my parents who absolutely adored her....... thanks for this!

                    A beautifully written poetic salute here Lorna, it doesn't matter how polished a homage is, just the fact that it's a tribute, is most definitely more than enough.

                    Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
