Love letter to music

In my darkest hours. I think of you.

When I felt my world had been turned upside down and nothing could keep me in touch with the ground under my feet. I called to you.

You came to me out of the darkness, a melody soft and sweet singing me back home.

I have felt life wash over me, crashing, crushing me, holding me down like a massive wave and I thought of you and somehow I found the surface and I breathed again.

Stumbling through the world, lost. I have reached out to you and found peace and strength.

When I wanted to lay down and give up. I would hear you call and get back on my feet and continue on the journey.

I’ve been lost at sea, no land in sight, and it was you who filled my sails and brought me home.

You are everywhere I turn. In the wind and in the rain. In the crying of a baby and the roaring of a storm.

At night as I lay awake, afraid, I would close my eyes and hear your soft lullabies singing me to sleep. You are always there.

You are there when I cry and you are there when I laugh. I have celebrated life with you and I have grieved with you.

You have given me hope when I had none and you have reminded me of love when I had forgotten how to feel.

As a child learning to take my first steps in the world it was you that offered me your hand.

When I thought I would fall you made me dance. You gave me wings. Light as a feather I floated, always landing back on my feet

My heart beats and my blood pumps through my veins in time with the song that is always there.

As I look into the eyes of the ones who are leaving me I know they will hear you as they pass and they will be alright.
