Old Red Record Player

My old red record player

Saved my life.

Not then, of course;

I was only young.

But now .

Sometimes

The music is all I have

To make me smile.

My old red record player

Black vinyl discs,

The sounds,

The smells,

My secret world.

No one knows what it’s like.

But they did.

My friend

Electric,

Singing to me

With songs eternal.

They now return

To save my life.
