It’s five in the evening and the sun is slowly going down. The sky is a warm yellow colour.
John is a bundle of pasta. He is held together by a paper band. He is sitting on his roof with his
acoustic guitar on his lap. In front of him is a pen and notepad.
Ah yes, thinks John. I’ll use an A chord here. That will make the melody so beautiful.
The bundle of pasta is writing a love song for his dear wife Karren. She is a bowl of Pho.
John plays his composition and imagines his wife crying because his song is so touching. He sings about the day he met Karren, about how they fell in love, about how they complete each other.
Suddenly, John stops playing. He takes his notepad, crosses out some words and scribbles some notes. He has a great idea.
The day you found me
I was flying blind
Now I see the light
I’m willing to fight
For you
John is happy with his new lyrics. He takes his guitar again and plays his love song from the
beginning. Then, he hears a beautiful sound. But it’s not coming from his guitar. It’s coming from inside the house. It’s his amazing, lovely wife calling his name.
