Musician

I Am The One filled with the love of song
The One Who joined the church choir in junior high school
and 40 years later, still sing in a choir
I Am The One raised on You Send Me, Sentimental Journey, and all things Motown
The One Who practiced torch songs holding a hairbrush mic on high school nights
The One Who inspires even Unitarians to lift their arms in praise
People Get Ready
I crooned lullabyes by the hour
Raised my children on song
I couldn't read music to save my life
Am rhythmically challenged
But when I sing I ofer myself a sacrifice
I light up the night
I am luminous, numinous
Totally present
Oh, joy!
