Song of Life
written by: Mike Turner
@SchoonerSkipper
A single note
Can time recall
A silent pause
Tells story, all
Deep rhythm, slow
Sets somber tone
While cello sounds
A low, soft moan
A settling verse
Paints loss and grief
While a rising chorus
Brings on sweet relief
Tuned voices join
Sweet harmony
Whilst a clear, high tenor
Sings what hope can be
All lifetime, lived
Just three minutes long
‘Tis all history’s story
Told in joyous song
