I didn't even

know the man

I didn't know

the man himself

Even though his

music filled my life

As it has so many others

I knew that he had

died that week

After fighting death

a year or more

But I had had a rule before

That funerals were

a waste of flowers

But something

said I had to go

To be a witness to

his gift of love

A man who never

once gave up on life

Until death took him

in his tracks

The people stood

around the church

Ten thousand people

there they say or more

Black and white

rich and poor

Together they were

there to say farewell

In New York city it

had rained that day

The streets were silver

and the sky was grey

But in the church the

music soared and sang

And seemed to fill the air

with shining sun

The man was a hero

He played the music

of our souls

He knew that

we all have in us

A place where beauty

always grows

Outside in the streets again

The people wandered

through the falling rain

They waved their hands

and dried their tears

And turned to go

about their lives again

But none of us

will be the same

If we hear the things

his music says

That loving is

the gift of life

And making music

was his way of love

The man was a hero

He played the music

of our souls

He knew that

we all have in us

A place where beauty

always grows
