Andrea Bocelli's Incredible Gift Poem by Walterrean Salley

Andrea Bocelli's Incredible Gift

Rating: 5.0


Bocelli was given
A unique gift
To touch the world—
Hearts to lift.

Serenading the masses,
Young and old,
He wows them with
His pipes of gold.

Heard and felt,
Far and wide,
His voice leaps,
Soars and glides—

Finding emotions
Where they hide,
Tucked away
Deep down inside.

A pianist
And flutist too—
Multitalented
In what he can do.

Loss of vision
Can be grim,
But such has not
Defined him.

Bocelli, a genial
And talented gent—
Admired for his
Accomplishments.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Andrea Bocelli (b.1958) is a notable, gifted Italian tenor and multi-instrumentalist. In performing before mesmerized, mass audiences—his golden voice is heard around the world.

And though he happens to be blind (since the age of 12) , it doesn't stop him in the effort to reach his goals. He rises above such challenge. Best wishes to Andrea Bocelli.

More than a year after writing the initial version of this poem, I felt that it was not expressing what I had aimed for. So, I decided to rewrite it.

Andrea Bocelli is indeed a great tenor - one of my favourites, Celine Dion once said that if God could sing, this is what he would sound like. Great tribute poem to his talent.

Bocelli certainly does have an incredible gift, which could only come from God. A very touching tribute. Thanks.
