today, we celebrate FATHER'S DAY..what more can i give to repay my father's love for us, children, but this fitting tribute for him, my Tatay...this is a re-post..
and Karin, thanks for making this piece beautiful with your golden hands and lovely words added here..
For My Father..Thank You For The Music
Memories I have of you play melodies in my heart.
They filled our home with songs and laughter too
Your smile stretched to cover us with your mantle of love
Dad thank you for the music, your music pulls me through.
Music was your all, and a gift to me as a child at six
of a guitar to play and taught me how to play it too
you wanted us to all make music in all our lives
Dad thank you for the music, and the wonder of you.
I hear you pluck your guitar like the tumble of a stream
It echoes in my heart and touches my very soul too
and you opened your home to your friends of music
Dad thank you for the music, as I listened to them too.
I’d run to you when I was down, and you’d hold me tight
and tell me to not give up, as God would help me through
when I play your instrumentals, my tears begin to fall
Dad thank you for the music, and when I’m in Heaven
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I will play my beloved music , with you…...

Oh how perfectly lovely! This hits home because my dad was a guitarist too and I can close my eyes and still hear him play.

"Thank You For The Music" is such a dynamic title! It is wonderful, and almost tells the story all by itself. This is a wonderful story poem, that lifts one's spirit and warms the heart. Nice work, pretty lady!

How beautiful! A wonderful tribute...I can hear my father say "stop singing at the table" when I was a little girl...father's are a wonder...nothing sweeter than the music they allow to play in our hearts because they love us...We should do a duet together...you play and I'll sing...How about "When Day Is Done"...? Thank you for sharing again the magic of your poetry. Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing

Wonderefully expressed. I too have music as the best way to remember my Dad. I know that those instruments tug at your heart every time you play the same tunes.

Meggie, this is a wonderful tribute to your father. It brings to mind the Dan Fogelburg song "Leader Of The Band." Your poem and his song head my list of father tributes. Thanks for sharing.
