The Best Investment I Ever Made

My son upon this Christmas Eve I reminisce of midnight hours Your fingers dancing over tenuous keys And the emotions your talent empowers I couldn't comprehend how you taught yourself to play Or just how this symphony of one became The songs you have inside of you like heaven on display I revel in your poignant craft uniquely unprofaned It's true that your propensity Can lean toward darkened depth A common vein for artists To be moody and depressed For your pain releases beauty by your gift it's voice relates You know your in the masters company of Mozart, Bach, and Hemingway So when your struggles weigh As the sea laden oceans sand Take your seat and breathe Stretch out your feral hands Creating an instrumental euphoria For the lonely and the damned Open the gate to moods your feigning Though others will misunderstand Christmas Eve and it's memories This flashback came my way Of your very first piano The best investment I ever made But one day when I'm aged and old It will be you who cares for me Play for me then on that Christmas Eve With your love in every stroke
