Dear Frank
Dear Frank,
I'm sending a little note,
A note in the wind...
May you find this
Like I found you...
It was nearly a year ago,
In early December,
When I stumbled upon you.
Your voice and your music,
Your heart and your soul.
Floating into my ear,
Another kind of
Note in the wind...
And it made me smile.
As fate would have it
Music would fill a void
That I never saw coming...
Just days later...
When the Coronavirus
Would take my uncle away from me.
Just weeks before Christmas.
The very next day,
I was in my car,
Tuning the radio
To the only station
That plays holiday music,
Hoping that it would lift my spirits.
The first song that came on...
Was your version of
'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'
It was you.
I knew it was you.
It was not Judy Garland.
It was not Bing Crosby.
It was Frank Sinatra.
After the song ended
The announcer confirmed it...
No other song, no other singer
Could have been more appropriate
In that moment...
I knew it was you.
I don't believe in coincidence.
I do believe in fate.
In that moment...
I almost cried, but didn't.
I smiled.
Not a day has gone by
That I don't listen
To one of your songs.
They make me smile.
Just like my uncle had.
I'm sending a little note
A note in the wind...
Just to say thanks
For the music, dear Frank.
May you find this
Like I found you...
With a smile...
P.S.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light...
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow...
