Sing For Me Poem by Monica Engeler

Will you sing for me?
I want to hear your voice
People say it is very free
No, I give you no choice.

Do you remember me at all?
Your words recall days gone by
Well, you don’t know my call
Can you hum my name, oh try?

I hold my head high waiting
You go back home misgiving
Crying, not singing, but praying
How I want to reach out and give.

You return to barren streets
I wish to go there with you
The music plays with no weep
My love for you is very true.

Why can you not understand?
Time doesn’t stand still today
Will you play freely in band?
The keys flow right this way.

Goodbye my friend evermore
I will no longer utter for you
The words are no longer more
Live long and be with the few.
