Written as part of the “Family Suite,” this piece is dedicated to my stepdaughter, Traci. Traci is a quiet person – someone who takes her time letting you get to know her. In that way, she reminds me of myself when I was young. Her calm and peaceful nature makes me think of the way a leaf follows the gentle flow of a meandering forest stream, sometimes riding the current steadily along and other times drifting into a calm pool along the stream’s edge for a time before catching the current once again. This piece, while gentle and peaceful, is contemplative and reveals the quiet hopes and feelings of a young woman facing the world of adulthood, with its joys and struggles. 4 pages. Intermediate level. Performance time: approximately 3:05. Included in the “Family Suite” songbook.
