My Family Is A Record Player

Sitting gently on a shelf,

Hidden away from the world,

Is a beautiful record player.

The vinyl is very plain alone,

Full of music,

But only shown with help.

Nest to the record sits the needle.

They play the records music,

But not without the speakers help.

The speaker is loud,

And brings the music together.

Then there's the cover,

Keeping everything safe and warm.

Together they play a beautiful melody.

Everything thats works together represents my family and friends, but in the beautifully written language of poetry.
