I Sing A Sad Song

I sing a sad song for the cold, lonely
Moments no one will admit to aloud.

I sing a sad song for all of the broken promises
Wrought by circumstances beyond anyone's control.

I sing a sad song for the faces pressing
Against the window panes in longing.

I sing a sad song for wild anticipation
Of days that never come.

I sing a sad song for the telephone
That never rings enough.

I sing a sad song for dreams woven of
Hopeless illusions.

I sing a sad song for all of those who
Waste time, singing sad songs!

Sad song?I had sang such songs in the past but I'm on the opposite side now,for as a man thinketh, so is he.A very exciting and musical poem.

It looks simple but, so deep is your song Dorothy, the saddest songs are the sweetest and most treasured ones.

Ben Gieske
This is a sad day as we learn that 80 young people were killed by a gunman in a camp in Norway. I wish we could always sing happy songs, but our world is full of humans. There are too many times when it is time to sing sad songs.
