This is dedicated to my nephew, Joe Ginem, who fought off a rare bone cancer and now shares his story and talents with all those in order to help others with cancer. His story can be found on the internet. He is a man beyond his years.
He has taken up his bow
To tame the world we know
Changing the lives of many by
Helping their dreams come true
His life was once in question
Scary times altering direction
To that new road he now travels
With those lucky, yet are few
A remarkable man of stature
Where, in music, he finds rapture
Sharing notes with all the many
Who listen… with ears and heart
As his bow then touches nylon
Angelic choirs sing in unison
Letting nonbelievers believe
As his music just then starts
For standing there on stage
Is a man of tender age
Yet, his music tells his story
As if a man of many years
He uses, well, his music
To tell of when and how he was sick
That now he stands to help all those
Battle theirs and fight their fears
When you look upon him playing
Through his notes, he stands there saying
That he survived and now rejoices
And wants us all to know what’s true
That through wishes and all our dreams
Despite life’s plans and all its schemes
We must be ready to do battle
Through talents… and all that we can do
