If ever a
song were to be
written about
me, I would
want it to be in a
minor key, where the
notes may not
match, but,
somehow, they
go,
creating the
harmonies that are
my life.

If ever a
song were to be
written about
me,I would
want it to be
smooth and
lyrical, but with a
beat that
pulses,
booms,
accelerates, and
slows,
weaving
together all of the
strength, and the
beauty, and the
spirit, and the
power that
I have, and that
I am.

If ever a
song were to be
written about
me, I would
want it to be a
song about
joy, about
sorrow, about
love, about the
tenacity it
takes to be that
song, and to
make it a
good one.

If ever a
song about
me were to be
written,
if ever a
song about
me were to be
played, then
my
voice
would be
heard,
my
story
would be
told, and
those who
listened would
know that
I
have
lived.
