To Marley From Marie Poem by Carolyn Marie Taylor

Here is a story of an old guitar,
A gift made last century, early on.
This token of love was there given,
And received by her chosen one.

Inside these words were written,
By the hand of the girl he adored.
Saying 'To Marley from Marie',
That Christmas Day.....1934.

Now peacefully sleeping with angels,
Yet to live again through the strings.
In a granddaughter's gentle hands,
The instrument once more softly sings.

So grandfather Marley's old guitar,
Finds new voice as it's gently played.
Sharing the music of their timeless love,
Recalling the songs of those yesterdays.

(Rest in Peace grandfather)
