RE: All things Literary & Haley
Haley through the looking glass
As time marches forward we look to the past
The young Wheeling lass, what would she aspire
To one day set hearts ablaze, set the music world on fire?
How would she do it, to set claim to fame?
Would she climb mountain tops, and shout out her name?
Would she gather equipment, make electronic din?
Or flash bright lights, bold colours, make our heads spin?
Yet this unassuming lass, of simple beginnings
Cares nothing of pride, of singing show winnings
Her hope is to share, the love she has gained,
The love of the music her parents ordained
They taught her what matters, how to live and love life
To always have hope, no matter the strife,
With a word and a smile, she can melt a cold heart
'Tis compassion she brings that sets her apart.
The love to make music, what she was born for
The talent within, so hard to ignore
When she opens her heart, she tugs at my soul
Brings a tear to my eye, she lessens the toll
A gift from beyond, this creature of light
She brings joy to the weary, brings hope out of night
The lessons she's taught, the music long past
of the effect on us all, of the long shadow cast
Inspiration comes, from her heroes of old,
The songs that they made, the storys they told
From "All My Lovin" to Miles Davis' "All Blues"
A history of music for Haley to chose...
But make no mistake, these old songs long past,
aren't what will define her, make her own star last
They fuel her ambition, give spark to her song
To create beautiful music so we can all sing along
My undying thanks, to the universe who made her,
She has lifted my heart, made my life all the better,
To her songs I can turn, when my feelings are low,
Let's all take a seat and watch her light grow....
