Music, Music, and More

A language of emotion
Too addictive of a potion
A mystical link of sounds
Without limits or even bounds
Welcome to the world of music

Need a map or even a tour guide?
Try out our very own Folsom Guru inside
He’s the absolute best in all the land
Nowhere will you find a teacher so grand
But hurry up, because he’s in high demand!

He understands the notes; he expresses the feeling
Every word he sings, has such a deep meaning
A naturally beautiful voice
But passionate by choice

He teaches us swaras and sahityam galore
But at the same time, tells us to do what we adore
“Everything you do, give it all you’ve got!”
Uncle, what YOU give US, can never be bought

His name says it all
He makes us feel bright and lets us stand tall

Arun Uncle, you’re not just a guru of music
You’re a guru of life

Thank You!

This poem was written for my Carnatic music teacher's appreciation day. He is a wonderful teacher and a great role model to all of his students. I hope this poem expresses at least a little bit of the gratitude I feel!
