E Chord Aficionado



I caress the instrument
Lovingly.
E chord
Given by my Son.
Has already offered
South of the Border
Sloop John Bee
This is My Father’s World
Oh What a Beautiful Morning.
Ode to Joy.
Busking harmonicas
At Famers Market
Or Rexall Pharmacy
Or Walmart entrance.
Or Town Square.
A retirement thing
Of late.
You know, Love
Brings on frequency
Brings on boldness
Brings on sweet finesse.
Brings on the Listeners.
And happy engagement.
Holy Spirit gets involved.
His anointing and
Muscle memory
Astound me.
Had no idea.
But pleased with the outcome.
People smile
Give a thumb’s up
Drop some coins, gladly.
As everyone partakes of
Grace of Giving.
The day becoming
Brighter.
The chores becoming lighter.
Probably a four hour gig.
More, if the Sun/Son stays.
