THE KEYBOARD by ANNE CAMPBELL

First Line: LIFE IS A KEYBOARD / ON WHICH WE PRESS
Last Line: HOLD MUSIC TOO!
Subject(s): HAPPINESS; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; JOY; DELIGHT;
Life is a keyboard
On which we press
Black keys of sorrow,
White keys of happiness.

And as we struggle
A weary lifetime through,
We learn the black keys
Hold music too!
