Thank you, Roy, for sharing this story of your family and your musical journeys. I am a Southern Gospel fan and admire the families that travel, and do concerts to bless us with their talents and gifts. Being shut in most of the time for the last two years, I appreciate the efforts that they have made to bring us online concerts to enjoy. So glad your talents and abilities have been passed along to your children and grandchildren.

Wonderful story/testimony. At 14 years of age, living in Detroit 1957, I decided that I wanted to sing, so I started trying to sing. I was more stubborn that talented at first, but I kept at it and eventually became pretty good. I was also a pretty good lyricist or so I thought anyway. From writing lyrics, I developed into poetry and have been so involved every since. I became a decent singer, but a disease has destroyed my ability to sing.

Your excellent poem is skillfully and creatively written and movingly descriptive of the desire to serve God through the use of musical talents,
writing and singing songs.

Hello Royowen a tremendous Tuesday to you. I hope this finds you well. another fine Poetic offering that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to:
I'm now equipped with words, my sword.
I often refer to my words/pen as my sword.
have a good day!

You have a wonderful talent to create song and now I see you have passed it on. This indeed is a gift from God. I bet you had so much fun on your travels, singing and creating songs with your friends and family. It would be nice to share what you love in life with the people you love the most. Maybe someday my family will appreciate my stories. It would be a wonderful feeling.
Thanks for sharing your post and story.
Always your fan,
Shana :)

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is a beautiful poem, and a beautiful story, Roy. I now fully understand your faith in God. He gave you your musical talent and got you back on track to making good use of it, and passing it onto your children and grandchildren. That musical tour must have been great fun. Thanks for sharing your story.

I would love to hear some of your songs. I've always wanted to write songs and music, but I'm not musically inclined so it never happened. Thanks for always sharing parts of your life in poetry. :)

That's a great story, Roy. The poem gets five stars, but the notes get six stars. I'm really glad that things worked out for you. I have been lucky with my family.

Comment from Frances Jean
Oh what a wonderful inspiring story my friend! Isn't it a wondrous delight to be able to look back on your life with a smile and say to yourself, 'look what I have achieved'. Congratulations on overcoming your trials and completing a journey of triumph with your family and friends. Your poem was nicely rhymed with vivid description. Thank you for sharing your life. Our three daughters all played musical instruments and loved singing too. Our life was full of Eisteddfods, ensembles and orchestras. Les Miserable is my husband's favourite musical. Hugs Franky

Very lovely poem and author's notes. You have a lot to be proud of. Your poem has rhythm and rhymes and a wonderful, universal theme. Everyone should love music, if they don't they're missing out.
