My Violin

My violin is my best friend

small, brown, and wooden

shining like a penny.
Four strings that stretch from the
bridge to the scroll,

tuned to perfection to give

off a sound that I cherish

in my soul.
The music our orchestra makes
when we play,
is just enough for me to always
make my day.
My friends around me,

share the same love for

the instrument as I do.
Although we all may experience it differently,
I know it brings joy to them too.
