If there’s a woman
for whom your heart longs
pick up your courage
and write her a song
When you come to write
don’t rush, take it slow
simply think of her
and the song will grow
Choose the best lyrics
write in the best key
add a killer hook
practice constantly
Pick the right moment
await a bright day
seize the right timing
take a breath and play
Sing with your feelings
be real from the start
then no one will doubt
you write from the heart
She’s sure to come close
to hear what you’ve done
and if it’s done right
her heart’s good and won
Growing up, my one of my best friends and I used to sing a lot together. He would strum away on his guitar and sing while I added harmonies. Around sixteen, he started writing songs for all the girls he liked; it was both sweet and incredibly nauseating. However, at the time I thought how special I’d feel if someone wrote a song for me. Penning this sweet (and nauseating) little poem was a trip down memory lane and the teenaged wishes of a girl, not looking for anyone in particular, but simply hoping someone out there might be looking for me.
Secret Thoughts Within 
Loved the verses and especially the backstory too!!! I loved this line in your notes – “I thought how special I’d feel if someone wrote a song for me.” I so loved your feelings at the time – and maybe still????
My heart is hearing whispers and maybe a challenge!!

Okay, I will abide by your wishes about writing a song – for you – until you change your mind. I can’t help it if your words whisper to me and tells me how your heart feels! Maybe just a song on the subject with universal application??? Haha!
Hope you are doing well and enjoying your weekend! Loving your posts as always!!
😊😁💕🌹

Thanks VB. It’s definitely not my finest writing, but it was a fun adventure into the past 💜

Your friend at 16? That was me 59 years ago, but it was just poetry: lyrics in search of a melody.

You crack me up. Indeed! It’s a pretty sounding song though and lyrically wonderfully crafted.

Oh man, that’s highly unlikely Navin. I’m much more comfortable behind the scenes or adding to someone else’s vocals. I know enough about singing to know I don’t sing properly 😉

Don’t worry if you sing properly or not…it’s abt expressing freely, right?…I know that from my dancing & singing skills 😉😅…and of course, you must always do what you’re comfortable with 💟
