The wise old hands
Flew across the keys
On an aging instrument
Playing a tune from the head
A melody from the heart
A forgotten song
The youngster watched in awe
Admiring
Dreaming
Hoping
The elder came alive in the song
A youthful gleam in his eye
Remembering a time long ago
When he himself was a youngster
Music was his passion
He once had similar dreams
As of the child before him
To become famous
Play for the world
As he grew up
His dreams were put on hold
For he had a family to take care of
Music was put aside
Then the kids left the house
But he still had a job to hold down
So his instrument lay waiting
Gathering dust
In the dark
Now in his later years
Retirement in his grasp
Children out of the house
Grandkids now around
His passion comes back out
Given life again
The dust wiped away
A dream reborn
