Beautiful Music and Memories

 

Paul Carr 

7 Last Words from the Cross

Air for Strings

Heard on Classic FM at 7:49 January 12th

I wrote this a few years ago and needed to record it 

(wrote it on a small piece of paper from a hotel)

It is below

Checking Out

Asking him to help me put

purchases to take by my red clothed cart,

I noticed:

his hands trembled as he scanned plastic, metal...

Grey hair, thick on his head, smooth still skin,

without mention or any attention to his hands,

he helped me twice,

wrapping swaths of plastic in circles to keep the large 

plastic bag straight on the top of the red cart,

fixing the metal and cloth Velcro hooks worked in an efficient

[manner, his eyes calm, steady and kind]

Karl Jenkins - " The Armed Man" Benedictus

Also heard first on Classic FM

***

I can't tell you how much I love this music,

it always makes me stand proud

and feel hope 

Both of these must not be the one that

Classic FM plays, 

but at least gives you an idea of this beautiful song.

I hope this day is having some moments of beauty for you!

May God bless and save us!
