Beethoven What a man you were Independent Strong and sure Your melodies Your life was song But in this world You didn’t belong You heard the song In the wind In the trees You heard the songs In the brooks and the breeze You wrote the things That no man could You endured the pain That no man should Your great ears Began to dim And you withdrew… To the music within You found that ‘twas not what you heard But what was within that helped you endure Beethoven What a melody And what hope You give to me… Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. |

 Yay!!! Awwwwwww, I have missed your beautiful words so so much, I love Beethoven so much and though my heart goes out to him and the challenges he faced with hearing and his emotions, he is a remarkable man and genius of music! (kiss on cheek) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Erica, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
