Sarah
sitting up on the
stage with her
guitar in her hand
tuning up the
chords studying
the audience
before she plays
and sings her songs
about life her own
or somebody else's
it doesn't matter
maybe Sarah will play
or sing her signature song
the one she love's best
"Stairway to Heaven"
it's a song I personally
have loved for many years
now since the
days of my youth
she's so young
and so talented
for one who is just
beginning to live
life I've heard
can be difficult
but life can also
be so sweet
it's all in the way
a person looks at life
music sings out
both sorrows and
joys it's the only
true universal language
Sarah the spark
for life for joy for music
that you possess shines
in a sometimes dark world
it gives comfort and joy
keep that love you
have for music and
play for that love
don't ever play because
somebody wants you to
remember Sarah whatever
you do never loose that spark
for life for discovery
because it will take you far
where ever you want to go
