Magic Fingers

 

An eleven-year-old boy Saxon Weiss

 Mastering the playing of guitar

He plays at a far advanced level

So young a rising star

 

I pick up my own virgin guitar

Determined to do it justice

I’ll start taking lessons

To search its robustness

 

To challenge myself

Because of a boy of eleven

Not that I’ll be as good as him

But good enough for sixty-seven

 

A lifetime Bucket List wish

To be a guitar player

No longer procrastinate

By saying I’ll do it later

 

I watch the video of Saxon Weiss

Playing like a pro

Encouraging me all the more

Confidence building as I go

 

Use your magic fingers Saxon

Play your heart out

Be true to yourself

Part of what life’s all about
