Poem

My late father 
    played gorgeous music 
on his Steinway 
Debussy, Ravel, Beethoven 
    along with his own compositions
He set eight of my poems to music 
   I sang while he played
Every Hanukkah he would play "Rock of Ages"
   on the keyboard
 The piano is silent now 
His students preserve his legacy 
   with their compositions 
Music - like poetry 
can melt the heart 
I sit here on an autumn day 
Remembering my father 
People leave this mortal coil 
That is our fate! 
But some leave behind great poetry and 
   music in their wake 
   Seems like they are almost immortal!
The piano is silent now
   But I am still here 
and hopefully inscribed 
   in the book of life for a good year
My father being gone for a number of years 
   he left his mark on future generations 
by giving them the gift of music 
And he left 4 new individuals in his wake 
I am one 
I was a fairly good son 
The piano is silent now 
But memory persists 
  And one can take joy in that!
