There's a big piano in my heart... oh if I could play it now , but instead I chose acting.
Oh, if I could just turn my thoughts into music now... I would give it all and the keys of the piano in my heart would spread the scent of English tea, strawberry cheesecake and fish with chips.
I see myself taking a huge plane with grandma to UK to see you.
You are waiting in London Stansted with your beautiful dress and wise angel hair with open arms and say: "hey darling... welcome home. Have you learned your English vocabularies so we can go to bingo tonight?" ,
"Yes I did", I reply to you full of love.
Night is dawning and I see you standing in front of my window with your accordion. You and grandma are singing and playing bedtime songs for me.
You've been up there in the clouds for so long now and your voice and love will stay with me for a lifetime.
You taught me so much for the future: courage, lightness, love and my 2nd language English. Whenever I want to say something important, it's easier for me to do it in English than in German, maybe because I channel it with you and your trust in the world. How you bravely emigrated to UK and managed so much to marry your English soldier.
If I could only play this big piano in my heart, I'd give everything. Then you would be still there with me in the melody.
Marianne ❤️
