Music In My Time Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

'To all my friends I have not seen
who'd been away since we were teens
and to our music that binds our past
that will stay with me until the last

in times of gloom and when alone
I'll play the music to changed the flow
I think of places of long ago
and all the bars that we have known

it is hard to put in words
the beauty of the melodic chords
that it's better to remain silent
to savor all the precious moments

music that unite us in our time
to our gatherings that make us one
listening to tunes of long ago
that I am longing for all of you.'
