press for magic... 39_Glenn Miller_Moonlight Serenade

my leafy pal flows with music of yesteryear
I hear the tunes drifting on a crisp fall eve
my mom is smiling sweetly in the doorway
my dad is selecting a special tune for her
I know that a colorful musical dinner awaits

the family Hi-Fi has been playing for hours
I see shiny album covers of shared love
a fragrant home cooked meal invites me in
I enter our living room surrounded by cheer
immediately my dad tells me the record's name

Glenn Miller's biggest fan is just beaming
his 40's teen years totally come to life
my mom dances in from the kitchen
asking my dad to get up and join her
two happy spirits who met at a hospital ER

now married with two sons of their own
hoping their dear music memories are gifts
their dreams realized mixed with sad losses
yet no tragedy will replace their united joy
we're feasting with a moonlight serenade...


years pass quickly by and tears flow
an unexpected email takes me way back
I once again see an autumn scene of love
a family dinner with that sweet Hi~Fi magic
my leafy pal dances toward Tir Na Nog...

the doorbell rings with surprise visitors...
Gypsy violins are here now with magic...
angelic voices caress my heart and soul, John
