Waiting Patiently

Story Behind The Song

My father-in-law was in the hospital after heart surgery. Things did not go well, and while he was in the hospital room, we noticed that he kept looking up at the ceiling. We asked him what he was looking at and he whispered, a bird. We asked what type of bird. He whispered again, an Owl. Unfortunately, he left us a few days later. This was written with him in our hearts knowing the Owl watches over him.

Lyrics

Bridge:

He saw the Owl that no one else could see

While it watched over him as he lay there patiently

He trusted them to help him so he could stay with me

But the Owl had the knowledge that it was not to be, not to be...

Really nice and touching piece of music. Starting very well with piano and Cello, and then the arrangement keeps building up slowly up 'til the Tutti section. I like the harmony power that starts quite sad and then slowly find a positive resolution until the end. Orchestration assists the main theme well.
