Tempo of Life

Music soaks through my fingertips Notes played out like scripts Telling stories of my trips These pages capture my life Each single note represents my sights Happy times of sweet delights As I take a step or a half step And from largo to presto Or from prestissimo to larghetto Each tempo Is the movement of my life And I've decided No longer going to be pianississimo But instead going to be fortississimo Going to take it slow like a crescendo For life itself is beautiful Just like music it makes you full You have to learn to rule Go back to school And find the beauty in you, a jewel
