"My Mother's Music"

There is a power to be found

In every word we hear.

In every word we speak.

In every word we write.

I first felt that power when I was young.

In the way my mother spoke

Words gliding past my ear,

Harmonizing, beautiful, mesmerizing.

She would open her mouth

Then out came the wondrous music

Yet she never sung.

No, she never sang at all

But she whispered to me,

"My child, I'll tell you a story"

And with every word I heard the symphony

It drew me in

Glued me to the floor

Eyes wide, ears open.
