I too must pay my dues
So I can sing My Song
Just like Barry Manilow.
Or perhaps it’s Neil
Whose words inspire me so
To sally forth to conquer
All my doubts and fears
And “let me sing my song.”
Or maybe it’s just Ringo
For he’s the one who said:
The Blues can’t be sung
Without paying up those dues.
But in the end,
It really doesn’t matter
Because we all must sing our songs
Wherever we may find them…

I like to sing sometimes when my person is getting up to let me out in the morning. -Bongo
This is one of my favorites!
Thanks. It really took awhile to write because it just didn’t seem complete. And I kept hearing “Longfellow’s Serenade” and “It Don’t Come Easy” in my head until I figured out how to get their references into the poem. Sure hope those singers see it and like it too. (Hint. Hint.) lol
I really like the references to Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond and Ringo Starr, it ties in nicely, and makes me want to sing the poem out loud! Neil Diamond is great live on concert too!
Thanks, but tell me how would you sing the poem out loud? If I were a musician I would add music to it, but alas am not. It was really strange writing this poem because I kept hearing these different songs in my head until I figured out how to refer to them. Now if The Cosmos would just tell These Great Celebrities about my little poem…
Beautifully said. We all want to find our songs to sing. 🙂
So true Cubby and some of us sing so much better than others. 😉
