Thanks for sharing about your wonderful childhood. How fun to have been exposed to so many cultures early in life and yet you also got familiar with American culture, too. You probably had to interpret culture for your parents. I had to do that for my immigrant parents.

Hi! My parents were born in Trinidad & Tobago. They were British raised with subcultures. Americans and Britishs are similar. Thank you :)

Ah, that's good that it wasn't such a drastic change for your parents. For mine, it was very different.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the influence your parents have on your choices in your life to become a singer, dancer, actress. The little songs we learn when we're small makes a big impact in our lives.

Thank you for sharing your memories of how your parents inspired you. I especially liked your title and all the farm animal sounds in the opening stanza. Cheers- Joan

Hi Alicia. A very nice poem about the joys of song. Every ethnic society sings and has its own preferences--joyous, romantic, religious, happy, sad and so on. I enjoyed hearing about your family. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn! This blending can probably only happen in the USA, Europe and Australia. There are plenty mixes too. I'm sure after the second stanza modifications can be made for other blends. Lolz. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)

Music is one of the forces of peace in our lives. It can calm the savage beast or share the love. What a wonderfully written poem and I love all the videos. Best of luck with your writing!
Have a great day and God bless.

How family and others helped and inspired you to feel and be inspired to be a poet and writer with the appreciation of living and realizing life is song; well said, well done.

I like this Alicia, I can see why you wanted to write poetry, I can tell you I never wanted particularly to write until I hit my forties. I loved this, you're a one off, you inspire with your natural desire to be a true individual, I like your writing, well done, blessings, Roy

Hi Roy! I think being surrounded with it at home, made me take up writing even if just as a hobby. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)

You describe quite a rainbow of memories and cultures, old Macdonald's farm, chitin and Koran enchanted in Arabic
. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
