Poems by James Sadwick

A blank parchment is lifeless
Until a pen creates a melody.
A song is revered ageless
Because of a sweet harmony.

Musicians are the key to living
Because they understand truth.
It's not about taking but giving
That makes us feel our youth.

Take the sound of music,
And change it into a life goal.
Maybe you'll see the magic
When you touch a child's soul.

Music is the secret mystery
That unlocks something within.
No matter where in history,
Music is where it begins.

Often we can't see
The beauty in the pain.
Often we can't see
The treasure we gain.

Often we can't see
Pain has an ending.
Often others can't see
Our hearts are breaking.

Often we just see
The mountain of blame.
Often it's a journey
Full of lies and shame.

Take heart, dear little one.
The scars will heal in time.
I know it weighs a ton,
But you'll be fine.

Listen, my love.
The mountain is strenuous.
There comes hope from above;
Take heart and be courageous.
