Dans history of Dans love for musical performance

The Joys of Musical Performance

When I was Young, my mom encouraged me to start playing the piano,

I had no interest interest while I was so young. after seven years of playing.  I started high school
And I decided to play the drums I thought it was cool to do so,

I started marching in the band. The first year I joined The band I started out playing the quads
After three years of this I started playing the snare drum and the drum line,

The first competition then placed first place
Throughout my years of practice and then decided to go to McDonald's to celebrate,

I jumped in the car of my best friend,
then proceeded to McDonald's to find this could just be the end.

As we turned in the McDonald's parking lot The car that I was in wasT-boned by another.

Since I was the passenger,  I took most of the blow. This then put me in a coma,
   
After four weeks in a coma.  I was then transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in Grand Rapids.

After three months of hard work I was able to walk out.  No one could conceive what this was all about.  Not many could believe that this is what happened to me.

I would not believe that I could do this.  Now after 27 years I am still recovering.  I was sure my talent for music was quickly gone.  My ability to play the drums was not overcome.

I was so sad that I lost the rhythm.  I would not let this stop me.  I was determined to win.  I decided to purchase an electronic drum set.  I then found out that nothing was wrong.  

I was so happy I did this.  I could not believe though I could not play as I did, my rhythm was still in me.  I was happy I did.  Although it  frustrated me at the time. I won't let it stop me. This freedom is mine. 

It was so slow to play the drums Since it had been so long I had just determined that it was gone. I thought I could never play again.  Wow, what a victory.  I will never let anything stop me.

My love for music

In my life, music still reaches deep inside my heart
What once I thought was gone
To my surprise it will not depart

The strength that I have 
And the willingness to move
I was told my gift for music
Will forever improve
 
I could never give up
This satisfaction I once had

Has returned right back into my heart
I will never let anything
Leave as I pray

As my passion for music 
Will never give way
It will forever be with me
For nothing can stop me
Until death do us part
It will forever be mine

Who cares

Who cares Are there times when you feelno one cares You feel hopeless and blind As You look everywhere When all of the sudden you receive a note in the mail It's an invitation seemed to be so unreal unreal But time it just took my appeal I always tried to just hide and run far away But this'll time I considered "why not give it a try As I entered this building Everyone welcomed me in I felt so disappointed that I waited so long I could feel they all cared I could felt that this where I belong I was to find out There was some who really cares about us all I was told that he died To cover all ,what an amazing thing to hear That This takes care of our fall I wanted to go back every week As I am told how to loved As I should love in return This man that am told They called Him Jesus And we need to show love just as he showed I learned He died for our sins Which I knew nothing about I thout I was a good person But it's in His eyes we may not There were yet 10 laws to follow I then realized I was so shallow I was then told not to worry He took care of our guilt Since he died on this cross What a story his was As I followed along I tried not to hide As this I was told It's in he I should confide He puts rest in our hearts Which brings tears to my eyes I could then feel his love As I accepted him He was willing to enter As he would forgive allmy sins What a wonder Of thanks I should give When on Easter I then learned That if I would repent Then I shall eternally live I could only understand That someday I would die But if I was to believe But since he was crucified My soul it would not leave I
