Songs of Life Hamdi a Abdullahi

Music enriches our lives by inspiring us, by motivating us, by challenging and criticizing us, by humbling us. Music causes us to bow our head, to cry, to clap our hands, and to dance. Music communicates wisdom, humor, and love. Music wraps its arms around us when we are sad. It pats us on the back when we celebrate success, and it reminds us what is important when we are lost and confused. This collection of over 50 poems draws inspiration from a variety of musical genres that have enriched the author's life. Each poem blends musical lyrics with the author's life experiences, thoughts, ideals, and hopes. This collection of poetry is an invitation to experience music in a more personalized way where lyrics and verse enable new ways of thinking as the reader interpret's his or her own autobiographical experiences.
