She nursed her child
with strains of Brahms and Bach.
Lilting melodies,
soothing symphonies
nurtured and enriched his life.

He grew to manhood
gifted. eloquent.
Master of music,
soul sated with song.
he touched the world with passion.. beauty -- love.

she wrapped music round him like a shawl.
she could not know the gift she gave us all.
