On World Music Day, Celebrate Life With Music

By: Sharon Supriya  

As a child, my Dad taught me to celebrate life with music, and this is how I do it,

When I sit down near my window and play soft tunes on guitar, I celebrate my loneliness.
When I hum to the rhythm of my beloved's heartbeat, I celebrate our love for each other.
When I swing my arms up and down, with my daughter to the rhythmic rhymes, I celebrate my child's laughter.
When I sing a lullaby to my child, I celebrate her peace in my arms.
When I walk down home, listening to some great music from my phone on the buzzing street, I celebrate who I am.
When I have failed, and have no room to hide, I find comfort in gospel's soulful music and celebrate the presence of my God.
