I was going through some old boxes in the attic today and came across this poem that my daughter, Amanda, wrote when she was ten or 12.

Thought I would share it!!!!



I am a musician
I wonder where music take others
I hear the rhythm and harmony in almost every song
I see bands, groups, & composers perform live and on television
I want to perform for hundreds
I am a musician

I pretend when I am practicing I am performng a solo on stage for hundreds
I feel emotions overwhelming me when I listen to music
I touch music like it is something sacred
I worry about people who do not feel anything when they listen to music
I cry when the music touches me
I am a musician

I understand the need & want of music to composers and musicians
I say aloud to myself what I truly feel the music is saying to me
I dream of being a great tenor saxaphonist and performing for myself
I try to help people understand the concept of music
I hope I touch one person with my music
I am a musician

Absolutely wonderful :). As a musician myself these words echo soundly for me.

I thought it was pretty good considering her age at the time she wrote it

Awesome Patti, thanks for sharing!

That's real good, Alot better than most of seen written by people alot older. Very Well Done !
