Soul Music

Whatever mood I am in,
There is a song to suit it,
Happy or sad,
Manic or mad,
The notes carry and caress me,
My feelings are heightened,
The music is my solace,
A shoulder to cry on,
It enters my soul,
And carries me along,
Without my music,
Which is in turn all our music,
We would be sadly lacking,
Our lives would be incomplete,
For it is the music that puts the twinkle in our eye,
That extra spring in our step,
The soul music is the essence of our life,
It encompasses us in one single word,
And may the band long play on.
