My Piano and I

When I feel sad or I feel confused If I'm feeling blue or a little down I find relief and escape from it all, in the Music of its keys and melody of its sound. When I'm seeking a refuge and haven Free from toils and everyday things The notes of the piano’s heart I play; A soothing balm to my soul it brings. Across the ivory my fingers roam I drown out dreariness and gloom The world and its heartaches are forgotten As its sweet harmony fills the room. While at the piano bench I sit I play my troubles and sorrows away I lose myself in the lulling strains My fingers on its glossy keys play. When I'm in want of a temporary rest From some unpleasantness I feel To my place of refuge in the piano I turn Where problems fade and my wounds heal. There at its keys is my hiding place Where my heart is filled with its song And what had led me to seek its comfort Leaves my memory and passes along. Tall in its corner stands the piano ‘Til again its relief I wish to find From its bench to rise with renewed hope With all the darkness left behind.
