Music Helps Create Good Times Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

We try to remember so much,
It's so easy to congest our minds,
Important things we try to complete,
Some days seem to lack enough time.

We know the date changes, every twenty four hours,
But we still check A calendar every day,
A song we have not heard for twenty years,
We know the words, when it begins to play.

Often with music in the background,
It helps pass the time of day,
Never giving our full attention,
Just listening to some tunes play,
It's amazing how we remember,
Songs so easy in our minds,
Never reading the words,
And only hearing them play A few times.

Do we just take music for granted,
And not notice the connection in our mind,
Just listen, enjoy, work, or dance,
Music helps create good times.
