Melody of Life

O Melody of Life, praise to you.
From cradle song to dirge you know the soundtrack of my days.
You hear the underlying tune when we improvise together
and the sounds I make seem just noise.
You hear the song I long to write with my life
and leave on the air when my busking days are done.
For accompanying me through the rise and fall of every cadence -
Praise to you.
