Walking Forward to the Beginning (Book 5)

Smule

I love to sing
Have been doing it since
I was a young girl
Many do not that not
Only can I sing
But I'm pretty amazing at it

That's not a boast or brag
It's the opinion of everyone
Who has ever heard me
I've been singing longer
Then writing

Recently a friend introduced
Me to a free karaoke app called
Smule
You can sing duets of your
Favorite songs

Or if you're lucky enough
To know a paying VIP
They can create a solo
Song just for you

I have requested a friend that
Is a VIP
To create a solo for me
Of our country's national anthem

I haven't sung it yet
But shall in the coming days
That song will always hold
A very special place in my heart

Along with where I sang it last
Alone
At Radio City Music Hall in
New York City
In front of 6,000 people
Back in 2005

I will practice hitting the notes I need
To make this piece extra special
In the time of great divide in our nation
That song truly means the power
And strength of America

I need to sing this song again
For myself as well
As a show of my ever continuing
Recovery and inching forward
In my soul

If you have Smule
Come follow me
Join me in a duet
Or just sit back and enjoy
Yet another weapon
In my cathartic arsenal
Of stress relief and peace
