I wheeled you over
Placed your hands on the keys and
Gently encouraged
“I can’t play…..”
You demurred, a bit confused
“Yes you can,” I smiled
After
A moment or two you took
A deep breath
At first I thought
You were done, ready to go
But no
Music burst forth
From the keyboard like
No time had passed
“I guess I can play!”
You said with a laugh
Tears in our eyes
Those five minutes
That magical time will play
In my heart forever
