sing a joyful songtorn paper mixed media collage
9 x 12 x 3/4 solid aspen
copyright 2008 julie king
no matter the weight or the stress of the day
if raining or snowing or blustery spray
there's always a song to lighten the spirit
just open your heart and surely you'll hear it
it's there in the whisper of soft aspen leaves
the sighs of a child as he gently breathes
a lullaby hummed as the raindrops fall
a symphony of crickets as evening calls
syncopated rhythm of children's feet
the hiss of the radiator's blast of heat
whirling cacophony of the subway train
far off hum of a passing plane
you alone can choose to hear
what you want in the sounds so near
make of it a waltz or rock song
just be sure to sing along
sing a joyful song, my friend
make it happy from start to end
let your heart sing loud and free
a carefree, melodic symphony
if raining or snowing or blustery spray
there's always a song to lighten the spirit
just open your heart and surely you'll hear it
it's there in the whisper of soft aspen leaves
the sighs of a child as he gently breathes
a lullaby hummed as the raindrops fall
a symphony of crickets as evening calls
syncopated rhythm of children's feet
the hiss of the radiator's blast of heat
whirling cacophony of the subway train
far off hum of a passing plane
you alone can choose to hear
what you want in the sounds so near
make of it a waltz or rock song
just be sure to sing along
sing a joyful song, my friend
make it happy from start to end
let your heart sing loud and free
a carefree, melodic symphony
