Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!

Here’s one that’s going to take some talent:

Compose a love song.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t know that I’ve ever composed a song, let alone a love song.

Now, I’ve come up with a lot of poetry in my time– nothing that I’d like to duplicate here!  When my wife and I were dating we each got a notebook for each other and we wrote things to each other in it and we swapped them to read them after we got married.  I wrote lots of rhyming stuff in there for her (I’m not really good at the non-rhyming poetry).

And I’ve also come up with a few ditties– but I mostly play things I know with improvisation.  I think I may have come up with two or three true songs in my lifetime, but many were repetitive and were about Lego figures.

But in any case, for those of you out there that want to do something really special, put the time in and give it a try.  Regardless of how it comes out I’m sure they’ll be pleased!

    Ah, I love the idea of having notebooks to write notes in to each other and swap after the wedding . Great idea too of composing a love song… I’m not real good at poetry, and don’t have a sweetheart to compose to anyway .

    I read a lot of things about what to do and what little things make the most impact, so, you may not have a sweetheart yet, but if you like the idea you’re certainly welcome to use it!

    I’m pretty good at taking other people’s melodies and putting my own words to them. I specialize in nonsensical love songs. They’re pretty…well…awful, but my husband loves them, because I sing them for him.
