MUSIC

The reason some of us wake up every morning

Sounds that can bring tears to your eyes,

Butterflies to your stomach,

Happiness to your heart

Wonderful noise that isn't noise at all

That can take a bad day

And make it a good one with the first note

It holds your memories

And releases them every time you listen

It puts you to sleep when you're restless

Helps you breathe when you're breathless

Heals pain and heartache

Comforts you during hard times

And even during the best times

Notes that are everywhere

At your prom,

At your graduation,

At your first concert,

At your cousin's funeral,

On the other side of the wall

Keeping you awake because of its volume,

Coming from you as you hum your newborn baby to sleep

Everywhere

For our entire lives

To help us get through life,

To keep us sane,

To block out the honest noise

That no one wants to hear

It's there

It's music
