The Subway Symphony: A Lesson in Value

In the depths of New York's busy streets,
A man with a violin took his place.
He played with grace, and passion complete,
But only a few took time to bask.

The notes he played were ones of great delight,
A symphony of beauty, a true sight.
But only a couple paused to clap and smile,
The others hurried on, with nary a care.

For those who stopped, a treat, for sure,
A moment of peace, amidst the rush,
But for the many, a missed encounter.

For the man who played, was Joshua Bell,
The greatest musician of our time, so well.
His violin worth more than mere cash.

In the ordinary, the extraordinary shines not,
For all too often, it is overlooked,
And undervalued, it is a sad plot.

But those who find value and take flight,
Shine bright, and grow with all their might,
Their worth and talent, they do embrace.

So listen to your gut, do not ignore,
Go where you are appreciated and adored.
Your worth is immeasurable, take pride,
In your talents, your skills, let them ride.

For those who miss this chance, they regret,
The opportunity to grow, they let.
Embrace your value, be confident, bold,
And never let anyone, make you feel old.

So heed this message, do not let it pass,
Go forth and seek the future you were meant to have.
For in the end, your worth will shine,
And you'll be valued, for all of time.

For Joshua Bell's experiment, a lesson,
That the world, can often be so unfeeling.
To those who are gifted, a tough session,
Where the reward is limited, and unappealing.

But those who hold tight to their beliefs,
And follow their dreams, with steadfast relief,
Shall find the path that leads them to the prize,
And reach the heights, where their worth shall rise.
