Ballad; Destined To Music Poem by Juwon Daniel

She was but ten years of age,
So young yet, in her, was a deep rage,
Life did give her nothing;
So much that to its every requirement she had been
failing.

But her heart did start beating;
The day she heard the music flowing,
A violin it was, played by a most handsome musician,
So much that she wanted to be, like him, a violin's
magician!

Frail she was, only ten!
Abandoned, frightened,
Left to herself in an orphanage,
Yet, to voice out her heart's will, she did have the
courage.

She did learn to play,
She did make of the violin her life's say;
Why, other than for this instrument, she felt not for
anything,
She would never even resort to playing or even
dancing.

The music did fill up her empty heart,
The melody did help her lose past,
She did no longer care about her sad state,
To smile she did, once more, she did smile at life!

Her tutor did see in her some potential,
When she played, she seemed even royal,
Someday, she would grab the stars'
Such he had already seen from start,

Yes, she lived only for music!
Some saw in her a melodious mystic,
Yes, she felt strongly for such a thing,
The only thing that kept her, for a lifetime, breathing!
