I know, don't worry about length. I kinda left a message from everyone on the front page. It reads:

I got your message Neski, its beautiful. I'm sure to damien it all must be too surreal for him to take in. So hopefully this will bring all the great memories flooding back!

[emmylu]

hey guys:
I'm bored again so decided to make up another poem, What do you reckon. Thinking I could add it into the scrapbook.

Once Upon a song

Life was so much easier
Once upon a song
Music calmed the soul
And nothing ever went wrong

Lyrics could tell the story,
The one that’s in our hearts
We’d sing about our lovers
Or our childhood sweethearts

Today the world so complicated
Not as simple as it used to be
Love songs have turned to hate
Songs about drugs instead of harmony

Damien, you remind us
About the place where we belong
How I wish life was still so simple,
Once upon a song.

[Neski]

Thanks for that comment Emmy - I hope he likes it HAHA. I love your poem - its so true!

[emmylu]

thanks neski. I've been finding it hard to write good stuff lately. but for some reason, its all come back.

I wrote a poem.....I have never done one before..so thought I'd give it a go....I have asked Emmylu to put it in the card with my message

Poem for Damien

Australian Idol 06
it's a show for us to choose and pick

not everyone is the same
and you all went in it for the fame

when I heard your voice
I had chills and tingles
The man with the falsetto
would for sure be singing the winners single

you were called the black horse
but your fans, they already knew that of course
the judges Mark and Kyle
were'nt convinced of your style
you soon showed them all
you were gonna be here for awhile

your voice is the best by far
It is going to make you a star

the fans you have adore you
we swoon and we croon
and oh so shameful too

my friends in the Damien Fan Club
you may already know
*the Shamrock Tarts* in their own little hub
we have shared a love from the start,
even though we are worlds apart

thank you Mr Damien Leith
for your talent is by far the best to unfold
we will vote with total belief
until you are crowned with all the gold.

You have all done such lovely poems, Emmylou my message to Damien is:
G'day Damien. I am a 55 year old grandmother who loves your voice. All along I have liked Jessica but from the time you sang 'Crying' and 'Hallelujah' you won me over. I am currently listening to 'Nessun Dorma' on the computer. Gee you are good. In fact, for the first time this series (and I have only ever voted twice in the history of Idol) I have since voted several times for you. You deserve to win. I would love to hear what you do with a Gene Pitney or Meatloaf song. Congratulations to you and it is lovely seeing your family in the audience. I hope your Mum, Dad and brother are enjoying the experience of being in Australia and sharing this with you and your wife and son.
Cheers from Heather NSW

It's such a great idea - but I have no idea how to write my feelings in a few short lines. It wold take an entire novel. I will try to put something together quick
