My Soundtrack

Composer chose my life to write...

Hearing my music, in his heart

Stanzas, instruments of his art

Cantata arranged with all parts.

Signature on the staff began...

With simple scale and catchy runs

Salvation, childhood, carefree fun

With allegro, begun, soon done!

Chords and triads grew more complex...

Strong disciplines with practice, learned

Depth and beauty enhanced, discerned

Biblical highlighted patterns.

Harmony then morphs to discord...

Tempo steps to agitato

Affliction, painful, dark shadows

Hard, sad valley of death's sorrows.

Chromatically with semitones...

God's compassion enwraps my soul

Rich rhapsody, empathy flows

God's solace for others to glow!

At length, the tone melts to mellow...

The volume softly fades away

Our story music'lly conveyed

The glory of God's love displayed!
