By, Louise Pocock

I have a tune inside my head

That follows me around.

It’s just a simple melody

But such a joyous sound.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la… 

I sing it as I go – 

Imagining a Broadway show

And with a star-like glow. 

Sometimes I like to whistle it  

Or tap it on my knee. 

Sometimes I like to dance along, 

My tune can set me free!

There’s a tune inside my head

I hear and feel and see.

Once I thought I’d lost my tune, 

But it will not lose me.
