Born to be a Singer
Lo and behold there is a boy
In a singing competition the world first sees him Little does the audience know of the pure joy What he will soon put to the table in front of him A simple and a humble young figure He sings from his heart like there is no weight Dancing and smiling; flawless his singings occur All eyes are on him; without a doubt, to be a singer is his fate Unexpected brilliant improvisations he attempts each time Like a pro he hits every difficult high notes he sings All songs he makes his own and new when he chimes One can never get enough of this angel when he spreads his wings They say he has a soulful golden voice That he personifies Chrisye, the late Indonesian legendary singer Solid performances and praises from judges hints a choice Predict and claim that he will be the last boy standing next to his competitors Then reality hits ahead On sms pollings he doesn’t soar through His final verdict in the competition is finally read On the top 4 he gets outvoted, leaving his fans feeling blue To our surprise, the wonder boy does not frown; not even a bit No tears falling off his face Appearing maturely he accepts his defeat Eliminated he may be; still at the end of the show he sings with poise and grace Bunda mentions in a letter That this is the true essence of his raw talent Not to receive riches and fame for the better Instead, to develop his skills and show gratitude for his voice that is God sent This is not the end for him It is the beginning of a promising career Solo albums await in the future for him Surely he will eventually become a chart topper! Fans say “stay in school and keep practicing your instrument” Time will tell someday No hard work goes to waste and nothing happens by accident God has other plans and will not put him astray May the wondrous child moves forward Keeping us in awe later with more surprises and amazements Show the world more of his creativity on board Enable us to seize his career defining moments Believing that he has a capability Successfully he will fulfill all the dreams that he has For as has been uttered…no one will doubt of his singing ability; The captivating instrument he was born to possess By : Vini Siagian
