When She Plays Piano When she plays piano It's the most beautiful sound to me I listen to every note she plays As she softly strokes the keys Sweet chords linger in the air I watch as she slowly closes her eyes Within her music I hear it all The pain, happiness, surrounded by the sighs When she plays piano I watch her face glow in light She is at home where she belongs I don't feel the cold of night The music surrounds me completely It lifts my spirits high above For it's when she plays the piano She's doing something she truly loves If I had enough money I'd buy her a piano for Christmas time Since this is her passion, I'll start saving Every single nickle and dime When she plays piano She is sweetly lifted by heaven's grace As I watch the beauty fall softly across Her sweet and loving face "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Sometimes when you listen to music you can feel the rythm and the beat, but there is another thing if you can feel it though, the touch of the soul that plays the piano. That feeling sings the rythm and beat right out to every single soul and heart. I bet you closes your eyes alot when she plays, just to listen to that touch of her soul playing. It was beatifull words you wrote of her, i enjoyed wery much. Smile Jes |

aimster, You described perfectly how I feel and am when I play the piano. I'm not very good at it, but when I close my eyes, my fingers float to notes all by themselves, and many times, those notes help me interpret my mood and help me deal with things that otherwise I would not even know about. I guess that is the "soul" of the music that Jes may have been referring. I don't think there could be a greater gift than a piano or musical instrument. Good luck on saving those nickels and dimes. (When I bought old upright piano from an ad, I took a piano tuner with me to check it out. You can pick up the upright pianos fairly inexpensively, but they are a devil to move!) I enjoyed your write!!! Sadelite [This message has been edited by Sadelite (12-22-2003 10:26 PM).] |

I played piano when I was a child, for my mother...and when she died, I closed the lid and didn't touch the keys again... until years later when I forgot how to read music and play like I ws reading, but could still make up some sad songs... yeah, I miss those days. |
