“I Love Music,” by Cheryl Brandon

Love took a minute to identify, but not when he played his tunes.

Although he played his Jazz in wintertime, it warmed my heart like a summertime cruise.

These love notes caught me by surprise, like early mornings, I rise and shine.

I discovered my love for music, because these melodies reside in my mind.

Love took a minute to identify, but not when he played his horn.

We discovered that music was our connection, so we created a beautiful song
