Notes About The Poem

- You Can Do It, Play On -

To justify the dream
                                   realize the potential of music
                           to mirror tones emotionally with caution
                                          Shadowing night
                                   through the hour of hymns
                                     I can barely carry a tune
                                   but, I'm an amazing listener

                                      In sympathetic purpose
                             a soft sound that breaks the silence
                                A world that surrounds the harp
                                      - and its magical sound

                         The weight of a life that is lived in rectitude
                                  A characteristics in the process
                                   - dwell deep within your soul

                                     Sheltering of the true love
                                         it need not be painful
                                          - time for accepting 
                               "If music be the food of love, play on"
