Yup I've followed your life with pianos
and glad you have stayed in tune
Family memories of singing together
In summer months like June
At Christmas with snow in the fields
Gathered round an open fire
Carols of Baby Jesus
and Kings of the East we call 'Sire'
Scott Joplin speeds up the tempo
And Bach has a sonata so sweet
Mendelssohn composes the waves
and brass bands beat retreat
Mozart's Die Zauberflote
The Essence of Artie Shaw
You've played them in wothy perfection
Draped in your grandmothers shawl
But now in a poem of trubute
You've recorded the years of the keys
A poem I've enjoyed immensely
More of this Hannie, please...please.
