Can't You See?...

The music in my life
     dances around the words 
as the rhythm of the pentameter
     decides the fiddler's tune,
his feet keeping the walking beat
     always on the path home
Fingers keeping time,
     tapping, gently tapping
time after time
     as if to accentuate the meaning
or just to keep your head
     nodding in time
And i watched as my children
     with faces turned up towards the sky
sing along with a song i have loved
     for all these many years
and if you know me at all
     you know i could not help the tears
as i saw some of my light in their eyes...
