"without Batteries"

About four years ago when I first lost my dad..
Grief stricken and shocked and way to sad..
As days passed my wife would tell me that this
snow globe we had would some times play..
I would always shug it off and go my way..
As weeks passed and life seemed a litle brighter..
I would sit at this piano and play to a mood  so lighter..
As I finished I got up and walked across the room..
I turned to hear Fur Elise being played in tune..
I picked up the snow globe to turn it down...
Only to realize there were no batteries to be found..
