Music is my Forte

This is a poem about music influencing someones whole life.

At first I thought that music wash't all that grand

But that all changed when I joined the middle school band

From there on my life had been changed

Now I could make music which at first was very strange 

I got better as time went on

and before I knew it I had the solo in a song

Next up was high school where I stepped out on the field

I held my trumpet proud like I was a big deal

With trumpet in hand and standing at attention

The silence soon filled the air with tension

Then bam we were playing our first song

Which to my disappointment didn't feel that long

I made it through high school trumpet ego and all

before I knew it marching was over and here came fall

I carry that trumpet with me all the way to college

It is and always will be my most valuable piece of baggage

I played in the college band so appreciative

Cause I always thought playing music was a privilege

Now that I've grown up and have kids of my own

I am so proud that one plays baritone and the other piccolo

Time goes on and they learn to love it like I do

But I realize that my time is soon due

I'm glad that I've always had music to more than suffice

Now I know it'll follow in the afterlife

And even though some people don't think the same way

I'll always remember that day when music became my forte
