Appassionato

Fingers we, in hands of God
That flit and flutter o’er the keys
Movements deftly orchestrated
How sweet the music that he sees.

Each of us may strike a note
But solitude has scant reward
So join together now, because
A hand is needed for a chord.

Feel the joyousness of music
Harmonise and banish strife
Allegro, Forte, swell the heavens
Infectious melody of life.

Falter not, for lack of practice
Makes it difficult to play
So keep your place within the tune
That takes us all from day to day.

And when, at last, your days are done
Praise the day that you were born
To hear life’s symphony complete
With one soft note from Gabriel’s horn.
