Schindler's list was the film, my daughter was 15 at the time. She placed Itshak Perlman's violin piece by ear, at the conclusion of the film.
My daughter and I watched the stark images
Entranced by the blacks, whites and shades of grey
As the soulful strings from Schindler's Theme
Wailed with mournful sadness
At its finale
Her musician's instincts
Led her to pick up her student strings
And Play the melancholy melody
Tears marked her cheeks
As she swayed gently with the aching flow
Of the cruelty threaded piece
We lived the angst filled moment
As the music haunted us
For a silent moment
While the lost souls listened

Lost Soul's Concerto
My daughter and I watched the stark images
Entranced by the blacks, whites and shades of grey
As the soulful strings from Schindler's Theme
Wailed with mournful sadness
At its finale
Her musician's instincts
Led her to pick up her student strings
And Play the melancholy melody
Tears marked her cheeks
As she swayed gently with the aching flow
Of the cruelty threaded piece
We lived the angst filled moment
As the music haunted us
For a silent moment
While the lost souls listened
