Harmonica

The sound of a harmonica
is music to my ears
but the day I heard my neighbor play
well, that brought my eyes to tears.

He played so extremely well
I wanted to hear more
then he added drums
wow, a one-man band, encore!

It caught my husband and I by surprise
somebody we’ve both known for years
a carpenter by lifelong trade
now a musician so well played.

A neighbor with such a wonderful talent
something we never knew
playing the harmonica so beautifully
on a Saturday afternoon.
