i wrote this one when my friend who lives in new south wales said she was going to commit suicide.
i was crying my heart out at the time at the thought of losing such an important friend, luckily she ended up not suiciding, and she has now become much closer to god and seems much happier since she went to a christian camp. 16 Roses
16 red roses so far have grown
16 red roses may fade
16 red roses may wither to black
16 red roses may wilt and die
16 roses may be all that ever grew
16 roses may be all that ever blooms
if by 17 you rest in peace
if at 17 all thats left are pieces
thats too many sweet roses that will never be
too many red roses that none will see
too many lives that will go unchanged
too many days that will go ungraced
too many crimson roses i may never again see
such a fleeting grace
such unending sorrow
i hope to see more roses
i want you to see them too
so as friends we can be two
its not very good, but it has a lot of meaning to me.
wanna see more of you peopls art, and hopefuly some of you peoples poems too  |
Really, it could be made into a song quite easily! It is from your heart and an excellent example of organized creativity and caring for another person! | |

I don't know what "ids" are. Would you please mind explaining that? Thank you!
Concerning what type of music that I sing, the short answer is that I sing all types.
Would you care to hear the long answer as to the types of music in which I am involved, both instrumentally and vocally? If not, that's okay. |
Yes I would love to hear the long answer. I love all music as well - well most all music so please enlighten me
id's?? maybe i should re-read my post and get back to you, LOL | |

This is the long answer. I don't normally feel comfortable posting this much about me. But, I do feel very much at home on this particular thread. I feel as though I am around people like myself.
To give you an idea as to the types of music that I play/sing and the musical venues in which I am involved, I am the regular pianist with the Johnnie Kaye Orchestra. Which is basically big band ballroom dance music. We have gigs in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana. I also play string bass and percussion with the Quad City Wind Ensemble. It's exactly like the local symphony, except that it's a concert band. Have been involved in all facets of church music for over 36 years - play organ and piano, conducted kids and adult choirs, bell and hand chime choirs, performed as well as written small musicals for church and school groups, was a music teacher in schools for many years, band, chorus, general music and cultural awareness/fine arts. Have taught all grades, from pre-school through college level classes. Have given private voice and instrumental lessons mostly in my home and also in some other places since 1978. Gig on my own on the piano - all types of music that would be popular at a party if one is playing the piano. Give lecture/demonstrations on my harpsichord (virginal) or piano to local civic, church and school groups. Direct the local men's barbershop singing group for the Rock Island Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. Have been in over 40 musical theater productions, either as an actor or musician. | |

Are you familiar with the "Irish Blessing", Cal? | |

| Because your poem, although unique and special in itself, is very similar to it. It is a blessing/poem that is known throughout the world. I just know it because I have been around awhile.
The words might vary a little bit depending upon the interpretation of the original. But, the thoughts are the same. Quote: The Irish Blessing
“May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
|
You see, great, poetic minds like yours and other poets think alike. That's why you have written somthing similar in style to the Irish Blessing. Now, you can say that you know what the Irish Blessing is. | |
