Topic: Music (03/08/07)
Every one has their own story. Everyone dances to their own tune, sings their own song. My life is a symphony I have orchestrated with out knowing.

Everyone has a story. The words are lyrics describing the gut retching pain you feel when you heart is broken. The pride you have when you see your child graduate, and start doing great things with their lives. The sadness you feel remembering situations you lived in your child hood. The fear you feel when someone hurts you unimaginably. The peace you fine in safety, a soft lullaby so gentle and soothing. Someone once told me "Every voice has a right to be heard with out an auction"
We are song writers.

We are responsible for how we live our life, the gift God gave us. To live the best life with what we can. We can sing a song of tragic playing the victim the somebody, "Done Me Wrong Song". We can be the villain doing the revenge thing with ends you in the, "Jail House Rock". Heros are the favorite the knight in shining armor, even if you just save your self riding of into the sunset on a, "Horse with no Name". We are Composers.

We are in control of how we react to the situations in our story. We control the tempo it's pace. When we react in outrage, tempo gets strong adrenaline is high.
We stay calm it is controlled and steady, we are at peace tempo is smooth and relaxed. When I think of the beating I received as a child I feel the clash of drums and the steady blow of trumpets of rage. I'm left to heal, a cello so comfortingly playing as tears stream down my cheeks with a steady throbbing ache in the heart. We are conductors.

As I collect all my memories and put words to lyrics, lyrics to notes, I gather scores to create a symphony. Everyone has a story. Everyone dances to their own tune, sing their own song. My life is a symphony I have orchestrated with out knowing.

I liked the way you brought this full circle; the beginning met the end and the middle made it sing. Very nice!

Welcome to FaithWriters, Monica! I see this is your first writing challenge entry, and you have given us a wonderful message. I couldn't help noticing how well organized this entry is, too. It reminds me of poetry, which I find great discipline for any writer. "Thank you!" for taking time to comment on my music entry, too. I do so appreciate it!
