Scary Older Person

A scary older person, he is,
tall and confident,
a wonder, he is.

A scary older person, he is,
silent and committing,
amazing, he is.

Through courage and wit,
I inch a bit closer,
and suddenly, he isn't scary anymore.

Suddenly, he is amazing,
A prodigy hidden within,
loving music, he is.

Suddenly, he is friendly,
Piano tying us together,
three years separating us.

Suddenly, I am lost,
my worth depleting,
but of course, I keep smiling.
