“You can love me, but I must make me happy.
You can teach me, but I must do the learning.
You can guide me, but I will have to walk the path.
You can coach me, but I must win that game.
You can even promote me, but I must be successful.
You can even pity me, but I will still have to bear the sorrow.
For the gift of love is not the food that feeds me;
it is the sunshine that nourishes what I must finally harvest for myself.
So, if you love me, don’t just sing me a song;
teach me to sing, for when I am alone I will need the melody.”
i just love this poem 🙂 keep posting…
This is beyond beautiful!
Hey, this is the third of your posts i have seen, first was “learn to let go”, and the second, “to the nice guys”, and all i can say is thankyou, i am a young singer and songwriter, going through a hard time at this point, and you have described me in all three of the posts so far. It’s unbelievable how much you have done for me already, so i thank you, please keep posting cause i do not doubt that you will continue to help people.
P.S. If you dont mind i would like to use some of the themes in your posts to make songs with, if you give consent for me to do so. Thank you
hi gordon! you must be very talented to be a songwriter and singer at the same time at a young age. i love music. and i’m so glad my posts have helped you in any way. please feel free to get inspiration from them for your music. and maybe you can even send me some of your finished work. 😉 just remember, challenges will always be present and they will come and go, so just hang in there, k? thanks so much and take care! 🙂
Hey, well thank you, i will tell you now so as not to disappoint, i am only 16, and have only managed to write 8 songs so far, so the first song(s) that i might send your way may not be very good, but with all of your posts i read i get more inspiration and i have no doubt i will be able to create some songs that are worthy of the inspiration that causes them. Thank you again for letting me use some of your posts as inspiration and i hope to send a song your way soon.
good one!
