Louie Armstrong (What A Wonderful World) A Dedication! Poem by Kaila George

Louie Armstrong (What A Wonderful World) A Dedication!



He lived before my time
His voice unique

His songs so sweet
He was a legend of his time

But by far my favorite of all
Was ‘What a wonderful World'

Everything was so pretty back then
The air we breathe
The stars at night
The new dawn and sunsets of old

‘And I think to myself'
What a wonderful world

Everything was so breathtaking back then
The mountains high
The river deep
The endless waves of time

‘And I think to myself'
What a wonderful world

Everything so innocent back then
A cry of a new born child
The laughter of children in a playground
The sigh of lovers walking hand in hand in a park

‘And I think to myself'
What a wonderful world

The essences of being just you and me
Hugs of a mother
Stern words of a father
Fond farewell kiss to a friend or family
The merriment of laughter as we joke with family and friends

Fond memories stir in my mind
As I think to myself what a wonderful world




(OMG I had neil and not louie..ops sorry)

A pleasant tribute to a great singer, I remember traveling to Montreal with my family and hearing him sing that song on a cd. Such beautiful memories, thanks for sharing
