Off to the cinema we went,
We went to see a concert,
A concert of Andre Rieu,
Andre Rieu in Maastricht.
What an evening,
An evening filled with joy,
And the occasional sadness.
We were taken to those heady heights,
Those heady heights of music
Where love shone all around,
Then came that song,
That song that tore me apart,
And told of children running free.
If only that could happen,
Too many children are hurt and killed
And that should not be,
Children are the future,
And they should be cherished,
Cherished throughout the world.
But then Andre cheered me up again
And the concert ended in love,
In love, glory and wonder,
As music brought as all together.
It is what music does,
There were people from all over,
All over the world
And they were brought together,
Brought together by music.
Music, the language understood,
Understood by all.

Dearest friend, nobody does it like Andre Rieu, you are fortunate indeed to see his concert on the big screen. We've seen several on our Public Broadcasting station and on You Tube, but on the big screen would be the next best thing to actually being there. He makes me laugh, cry, smile all in one concert, who else can do that. I remember hearing the theme from "Exodus", This Land Is Mine, for the first time in the late sixties when I saw the movie and I fell in love with it. You've pulled all the heart strings in perfect harmony with your words. You made me cry dear poet, tears of gratitude and longing for that future where all children will run free. God bless Andy!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words Bella. Andre Rieu certainly can bring all emotions to us all, may children run free soon.
Andy
