"Poet of the week at Poetry for Thought"

Sept. 1 - 8 2000

 

You Are My Music

You opened my heart so I

could experience the joy of music.

You made my heart sing with a joy

unknown to me.

 

You opened my heart so I could

experience the high that golden

sunshine brings, the breathtaking

beauty of the starry sky.

 

But the music has just begun,

We haven't yet had the chance to dance

Or to share the experience of listening to

A symphony together

Or to walk hand in hand in the sand

in sunny weather.

 

Why can't we share a new beginning?

Why must there be any fear?

Let's face all of our tomorrows together

With the hope that love brings.

You are the music that I hear.

 

Betty Schultheis
