your 2nd symphony

the first signs appeared and you began to sense it,

that gradual increase of a discordance.

why... why now...? For quite naturally, it was uncalled for, unwanted.

but then,

that unhappy surprise still decided to make itself known.

and you had no choice, but to accept it.

Not that it was the preferred option, yet you faced it, (as you always did before.)

Not wanting to reveal too much, you knew how to conceal it,

behind your wonderful music, behind your brave front.

And you carried on with life, for the sake of your art,

for your name is synonymous with music, (in your name I see artistic musicality)

and without fail you never fail to inspire with your compositions.

With this symphony, you made sure that no one knew 

of the anguish 

that tormented you. 

No one could have guessed because of your cheery, celebratory D key.

Then you carried on with your Scherzo, 

joking about, as it means in Italian. 

And maintaining your bright spirits, your exuberant fourth movement

shows who you've always been.

Bravo! 

Sunshine and zephyrs, 

they scatter and glide,

Perhaps an indication of your hope despite the growing impairment. 

----------

Hope,

is only hopeful when we place it in God's Hands.

Come what may, how the unwanted surprises push us into a corner,

we stand firm, knowing that He will bring the sunshine into our souls

(inspired by Beethoven's 2nd Symphony)

You didn't say it, but i could tell, and i know it hurts so very badly, that you just want to go off somewhere else on your own.

but, please, hang on... you've been through so much, it means so much to you and really, i know it. 

Whether it is a test of the friendship, only God has the answers, but I believe He won't let His little ones fall to the ground just like that.

You're not alone in this, you don't have to endure it yourself.  We'll jump on that swing and throw the troubles to God, and be like Bee when he did his 2nd.
