I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Music Lesson

Fill your hearts with music,
join the world of love.
Sing the songs of happiness,
rising with the dove.

Play the harps of wonder
in the silent nights.
Shine the stars from deep inside
up to the glorious heights.

Listen to the sounds of peace,
finding fresh ways through.
While honoring the older truths,
combining them with the new.

Sparkle all the pathways,
softening them with care,
tossing up the signs of hope,
here and everywhere.

Rest on solid bonds of trust;
move with notes of grace,
Birthing beauty timelessly
in its eternal place.
