My Spirit Shines

Contributor: Gary Thomas Hubbard

Notes of music like feelings of hope
Lift up my spirits and helps me to cope
Bass clef and trebles I've heard a few
Smiling at Bach is nothing new

*

Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and more
I purchased their records at the local store
As I was learning to play each classical note
My spirit did shine you might say it would float

*

Lost my collection that was a piece of my soul
Traveled through life but wasn't quite whole
Then a friend unexpectedly returned my old crate
I smiled and giggled this really was great

*

Life doesn't always hand us whats right
But as I listen to music late in the night
From a Hero's symphony that helps my spirit grow
To Heavenly Harmonies that help me to know

*

That the things that are important we never regret
Sometimes they are people that we long ago met
Wading through all the troubling stuff
Finding some peace sometimes is enough

*

As I listen to the classics' heavenly sigh
I begin understand I really know why
We are put in this place and given a choice
It is so I can choose music as my happy voice
