About the Poem

I get inspired from nature, and from life, and this poem came to me one day while I was watching it rain, and listening to the radio. It is very true in our lives that we must choose for ourselves how to live, and which road to travel, and which song to sing, be it happy or sad.

I like to think I choose to sing a happy song, of life and laughter. But of course, sometimes life chooses for us also. 		Love Poems

Sometimes You Have To Choose A Song
by Gail
Rain . . .

Softly falling down . . .
each drop a symphony of sound . . .
as it hits the tin roof . . .
tap . . . tap . . . tap.

It can sound just like a sad song with a slow beat . . .
the kind that makes you daydream . . .
and feel sad and sigh . . .
as you think of what might of been or could be in your life.

Or maybe it is a happy song that brings back sweet memories . . .
tender thoughts and special smiles . . .
thinking of someone who makes your heart beat faster . . .
and your laughter ring with happiness and joy.

Or maybe it is a love song . . .
with sweet and soft lyrics . . .
tender and romantic and sensual . . .
that makes you think of dancing in the rain.

Only you can decide which song . . .
is the one you are hearing . . .
which music soothes your soul . . .
and which song you want to sing along with.

Sometimes, you have to choose a song . . .
and the choosing isn't easy.

this is how more of us should look at things and life. we all have a choice in how we take on each day, each relationship,each situation that arises. with choosing to be positive or as she says, what song we choose, can definetly make a difference in how we feel or even on how others reactions are to us. great way to look at it. smiles are contagious too

A pretty poem--and yes, so often we are the ones who have to choose whether we are going to be happy or sad. If only we would realize that in our day-by-day life!
