A Musical Tribute

I sat there in rapt attention
Hardly believing my ears
Or the beauty of the sound
Which flowed from his guitar.

It was a classical piece he wrote
On coming to this country
That captured the essence of him
And the passion of the moment.

I had never heard
Any piece played
With such melodious sound
Or that much heart and soul.

It was dedicated to us
And specially to me
For I had helped him
Explore the path he was on.

I was honored beyond measure
By the words he said,
The acknowledgement he gave,
And the music he played.

If ever there was a question why
I spend the time
Or the effort to coach
That was the answer!
