Dedicated to all serious profesional singers in this world <br /> <br />We bring forth feelings like water from a deep well, <br />We caress every note, hearts we've touched can tell, <br />We breathe life on every consonant and vowel, <br />That a composer's work becomes fragrance you can smell. <br /> <br />Words and music we must memorize, <br />Our instrument -the body - must be ready, besides, <br />We take care of it, make sure good voice abides, <br />With perfect health that we wish in it resides. <br /> <br />We will fulfill a commitment to sing come what may, <br />We study hard and practice everyday, <br />Minding your joy more than the pay, <br />'cause music can tell what words can't convery. <br /> <br />Slaves we are to music, our master, <br />Labouring hard so performance gets better, <br />Singers we are, giving each concert our best, <br />After preparing well fate takes care of the rest. <br /> <br />Out of our beings music soars, <br />With passion, with joy that inside flows, <br />When one with our music we become, <br />We stop to exist, all Self is gone. <br /> <br />Whenever we take our final bow, <br />We secretly wish and pray that somehow, <br />The gracious, kind heavens will always allow <br />that a strong, long applause to us you bestow.<br /><br />Joscephine Gomez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/singers-we-are/
