I received a package on my doorstep and jumped for joy! What in the world could this be? I hadn't ordered anything, it wasn't my birthday or even Christmas time!

Well, look at the return address! It's from my sweet blog friend, Jan at http://fynajanpoe.blogspot.com/. She has a delightful blog and runs a wonderful antique shop! Pop on over and visit her ~ you'll have a great time! Oh, I've just drooled looking at all the treasures in her shop. Wish I lived closer to her ~ I be popping in and spending some of Mr. Precious' money!
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
