Looking for Harmony
It’s a chaotic world, this is.
It is hard to find peace and harmony
In the cacophony of this life.
I’ve spent years looking
For some harmony.
Like the voices of Simon and Garfunkel
Or Crosby, Stills and Nash, or
Even the complicated harmonies
Of Manhattan Transfer.
Two, three, four voices all in sync,
All in tune.
I found this harmony with my wife.
Then added the voice of my child.
The fourth voice is added by
My friends.
When we gather, it is my friends
Who make the sound complete.
All of us,
Whether two, three, four or more
All in perfect harmony.
