Heightened imaginations
stemmed from not owning a lot of things;

faith in God, and family
in a land where all were kings;

receiving all the blessings each life brings.

Each agenda far from hidden
we were the flock, and God the "word";

at a time of innovation
from pure genius to the absurd;

with the best soundtrack music ever heard.

Our skies, truly the limit
and our faith knew no bounds;

under the band named, Noland
we explored through music, and sounds;

to this day our playlist still astounds.

Myriad influenced
the music sets me free;

still learning, ever honing
the song inside of me;

every tune, each lyric, and harmony.

My happiest existence
sharing music with my friends;

I am mindful of the message
my song ultimately sends;

ever grateful for each ear the listener lends.

Perpetually evolving
I continue with my song;

to perfect my finished product
I correct which parts seem wrong;

maybe the music will help eternity not seem so long.

We each possess within us
a song that is our own;

and we'll be judged by the "score"
and how much we each have grown;

when we return to a love much brighter than any known.
