Playing My Piano

Living in a country home I enjoy my piano Making music in my house It brings lots of peace My pet loves it when I play He serenates me often Way off tune he sings away And not with rhythm I can play with a flourish I’ve learned the one handed way Can play with the best of them I write my own notes I enjoy playing music It brings such joy in my life I play with heart when I do A passion inside My family does join me At times it’s quite beautiful We sometimes play through the night A choir of great noise Many days I’ll play alone No one else here but myself I’ll play my keyboard with joy With a love like none
