And every now and then, when I’m on my own, I look around my world, everything I own.
A photograph of me, when I was young. A smile upon my face, in my heart a song.
My heart beat like a drum, I had the sun in my face, I had the moon and the stars in my eyes to help me find my way.
And I remember when I felt all alone, and my world was a whirl, with the sun shining on.
My heart beat like a drum, I had the sun in my face, I had the moon and the stars in my eyes to help me find my way.
And though I’m older now, my life still goes on.
And still I’m here singing that same old beautiful song,
because in my heart the music goes on and on and on.”

This is really lovely. Your poem just immediately has a melody all its own and continues to warm up as it is read; what a relatable and lively and nostalgic wave of feeling it evokes, which I think means it's a great success :)
Beautiful 🥰
