A Song in My Heart

I've begun writing poetry again. But this time, there is a slight difference.
Behind the flow of words and rhymes, there is music.  I hear music when I write. 
Now if only I could learn to play music...

In my entire life, there has been nothing I've wanted more than to create music.  I never cared what instrument it came from.  And so I got a guitar.  And then a piano...  I don't know how to play either of them.  Perhaps here I will make a commitment to myself.  I. will. learn. an instrument.

Me?  Write a song?  No...not possible.  But...could I?  I've never really considered my poetry being put to music.  And if there would be music, I never thought I would be the one to WRITE it! 
My family is incredibly musically talented.  Singers, guitarists, pianists, bassists, drummers...clarinet, flute, trumpet.  It was always a joke in the family that my mother and I got none of the family talent.  Perhaps I was looking in the wrong places?
Songwriting.  I still can't imagine it.  And maybe it won't work...but I could try.
I would love to try!
