Regina A. Walker...Musings

Copyright 2015, Regina A. Walker

I'd like to post poet, photographer, and psychotherapist Regina A. Walker's poem "Musings" tonight as a reminder that The Song Is... and the contest in Mourning and Memory continues.


MUSINGS

Sometimes the pain is worth it. 
Sometimes the right thing to do really isn't. 
Sometimes loss is a relief.
Sometimes getting what I want is scary. 
Sometimes fear is a savior.

My student papers also continue, so I am going to finish with some music for you.

Let's start with Janis Joplin's "Little Girl Blue" from the Tom Jones Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVpDOIPx_sY

Here is her version of "To Love Somebody":  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkGUt4QYc08

"A Woman Left Lonely" fits in well here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klhK_4evO5c


I'll finish with her "Maybe": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caiBo_wTxrY

I may post some poems about Bessie Smith soon; perhaps I will post your poem about Janis Joplin later.
