Description
This was the first song I ever wrote. The night I found out my grandfather had passed away, I went straight upstairs to my bedroom, and sat down at the keyboard he had bought me 3 years before. I was 12 years old. I put everything into it, and it remains my favorite of my work. It has very sentimental value to me, and hope that it touches you the way that it touched me to write it.
It is pretty simple but it has a hopeful sound to it and it means a lot to me. It has developed a little over the years, but the initial melody has stayed exactly the way it was the first time I played it.
(The picture is the only one I have left due to a fire. It was about 35 years before he passed away.)

Such a beautiful and emotive piece. This sort of soul-inspired stuff is truly
a gift. thanks for sharing it with us. I will keep an eye out for more! (P.S.,
this is a polite nudge to change the spelling of your title so that it reads
correctly, "Portrait") :-) I love that we can immortalize this sort of feeling
into music.
