Your music can be played to sound so sincere

Your music can be played to sound like something of fear

Your music can be played to sound full of cheer


Fingers dance off of your keys quickly

Yet you capture the sound of a waltz so perfectly 

Your talent of singing chords 

Reminding us of what we could not speak with words 

You unclip our wings and show us how we can soar


Notes on a black and white page 

Nothing became something with feeling 

You’ve turned that into Music 

Nothing was what those dots and lines on a page once were 

Because they are nothing without you 

Music is something words will never be able to fully captivate

But I do know one thing

That all of that 

Is nothing without the only one that can allow it to be played 


You are a piano

You can be Grand or Spinet

You can speak volumes even when you are quiet instead of loud 

And you show what people cannot put into words 

You give someone a voice by speaking yours.
