I recently wrote a poem after listening to an inspiring song. Please note that the song in the poem is mine, Breathe Me by Sia was simply inspiration. I'll probably put it up soon. Comment Pleaz...

Crying to the Beat By Tesslyn Bergin 4/16/08

Everyone's got their music on
Everyone's wasting time.
Dad's got the radio singing
Mom's dancing to the rhyme.
Sis is listening to a tragic song,
You can tell she's going to cry.
It truly is a sad story, really
Why she finds the lyrics so heart-wrenching.

It's about a man who's dying
Who's heart is losing beat
Who has a wife and child-to-be
A child he had hoped to meet.

His wife is sobbing in her hands,
Praying the doctors lie.
He tells her to be strong now
And to calm her sorrowful cry.

He tells her to love their soon-due child
And not to mourn for long.
He says "The sadness would hurt the baby,
So live on after I'm gone."

Then, in this tragic tale,
He reached out a shaking hand
And placed it on his lover's belly.
He told the unborn son to be a good boy
And always love his mommy.

Then he whispered a little tune
To his precious kin.
That song truly touched the women's core
Thus he sang his first and last,
Closed his eyes and sang
No more.

Everyone's got their music on,
Bopping to the songs.
Sis is crying hard now,
Cradling her baby in her arms.

She doesn't cry because she's sad,
She says at the song's end.
No, she cries because she's heard it before,
It's inflicted a wound too deep to mend.

She first heard it from her lover's lips,
As he was about to die.
When he had told her to be strong now,
And to calm her sorrowful cry.
