It's propped against the wall,
anxiously awaiting to be played
sometimes it takes week
but often just a day
When she takes it in her hands
and begins to tune it up
it wakes up from its sleep
feeling the comfort of her touch
As she starts to strum along
the flowing melody is found
her voice begins to rise
my heart smiles at the sound
Eavesdropping just to hear her
because she doesn't understand
how I'm overwhelmed with joy
and that I'm her biggest fan
It's not the way she plays
or how beautiful she sings
it's the humbleness she shows
and the serenity it brings
To have that kind of passion
without needing to be praised
my daughter's gift sent from above
gratefully received in many ways
