Pianist Extraordinaire

Dedicated to my MOM ~~~ PIANIST EXTRAORDINAIRE
                                 ~~~~~~~~
                                 ~~~~~~~~
             Professional hands swiftly skimming cross keys
             Each finger with intent to strike right note
             Thus creates most beautiful melodies
             Sheer talent though she does not boast or gloat
                                 ~~~~~~~~
             Same lightening speed now as in years past
             Older fingers still swift and so sure
             Sacred memories will eternally last
             Of songs so sweet and so pure
                              ~~~~~~~~
             Talent unsurpassed by anyone around
             The years of time and dedication
             To create the sweetest notes and sounds
             Born from sheer will and determination
                             ~~~~~~~~                  
              Excitement now exudes and begins
              For newly refurbished piano
              To tickle refreshed ivories again
              Piano whose time had been cruel
                           ~~~~~~~~
              From memory not print on page
              The experts' glorious, gifted plays
              Tunes for THE ONE who gave assuage
              Whose HEART was captured with no delay
                           ~~~~~~~~
              New and improved bass and treble sounds
              Songs may seem unknown or old fashioned 
              But to me, cause my heart leaps and bounds
              Played with incredible love and passion !!!
                     ~~~      ~~~~~~~~   ~~~

                          ~~~ BY MY MOM ~~~

                ~~~ PIANIST EXTRAORDINAIRE ~~~

                                 XOXOXOXO     
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you Demetrios !! ALL factual !! My Mom is 85 and plays one song after the other, especially the ones when she was in her 20's as a member of a square dance band, all from memory and many more. She used the money to buy material to make me and my sisters dresses. An amazing woman !! ~~~JEANIE ~~~ xoxo
