Music Is For All

She sits and dreams as though in a trance
Of being on stage playing a wonderful dance

Clutches violin to her breast as though her heart could play
Teasing the strings , making music, night or day

She has practiced forever to get an overture right
A contest to win, so they can eat

She closes her eyes, in another world as she plays
The music echoes around the air in a magical way

Believlng it’s like Paganini* that she plays
She tenderly draws her bow creating a musical foray

No money to spare for lessons and such
Just a determination to bring happiness in touch

With all people, whatever their creed, music is for all
To listen and enjoy and bring hope to their soul

Now she dreams, but dreams do come true
She smiles knowing full well she will see it through

So raise a glass to the young girl who lives with hope in her heart
That her future will go smoothly, making her name as a star

Seren you didn't fail, judging is subjective. There are poems of mine that have sat on the best new poems in the top ten if not the first that have not placed in a contest. Those who sponsor contests are entitled to judge as they see fit. Their judgements are only a comment on the poetry they love and are entitled to make those choices. They are not making a comment on our poetry by not choosing us. You are always a winner in my eyes Seren!
