Sometimes everything is grace

Sunday evening after dinner

My love plays – talent’s in her

Under-practiced though, she’ll trace

A phrase of Chopin eloquently

Enough to bring a peace in me

A better world, a better life

Beyond the darkness we see now

I glimpse where music must allow

Hope and joy to cut through strife

And bring the world the peace I feel

Where violence ends and things must heal

Thus, Alison upon the keys, 

Hesitant, but sure to please.
