Layer Upon Layer: A Musical About Life

Layer upon layer, our lives we build;
Shrouded in mystery, ever love filled.
In every layer, there may be a song;
Some layers fragile while others are strong.
Mothers and fathers, grandparents and more,
Bring about changes and alter the score.
Resounding joy at the time of new birth;
Each childhood layer, precious with mirth.
Siblings and others, unique layers bring;
So does a concert where each heart can sing.
With magical moments harmony grows;
Fragments of music, each layer shows.
Sickness or sorrow, unique layers too,
So is a journey, a trip to the zoo.
Layers of discord, some layers with strife;
Disharmony, a reality, life.
Tension and turmoil, a drama, a theme,
With resolution, a director's dream.
Layer upon layer, reality knows;
Heart of a musical, a tender rose.

The layers of life may be perceived like a musical.
