........AND SHE SHALL HAVE MUSIC:
She was born into a musical family.
So it was inevitable the piano she would play.
From an early age,
New tunes she did learn every day.
At four years of age she began lessons.
How she looked forward to them each week.
Later on came the examinations,
To gain experience she did seek.
As the years rolled by.
Classical music filled the air.
Her joy of music was evident.
As she played without a care.
Then the teenage years came.
Rock 'n' roll was all the rage.
With classical music in the background,
She played music to suit her age.
After her teenage wedding
To the love of her life
She still loved the sound of music
Whilst being the dutiful wife.
Her daughter loved to dance,
Music blasting from her room.
Mother didn't mind at all
As George Michael's voice did boom.
After the passing of her husband.
Music came by a different way.
She saw a Daniel O Donnell concert,
A variety of songs he sang his way.
Many concerts later,
In many different venues in the US and the UK.
Her love of music is still the love of her life,
Hearing it makes life OK.
........And she shall have music.
Whether it be classical or modern you see.
The person I have written about,
Is about my life and loves of me.

DeleteI loved your poetry and photos, Yvonne! Thanks for sharing them. I'm really glad that you got to marry the love of your life, especially when you were young. And I'm glad that music has filled your life. I think music must go back to humanity's earliest days because it impacts us deeply. Your toddler picture is darling! Take care!
