Heart - A Collaboration between a Poet & a Composer

This was back around November 2016 I believe. A poet online saw some of my work and emailed me wanting to collaborate on one of her poems. She said she has no skill on composing music but would like to have her work come to life. Composing choral music has never been one of my strong points, but I gave it a shot. In the end, it came out pretty well! The poet loved it, which I am glad. The poem is beautiful so it had to be written in music.
What you see is the actual score of the entire composition written at that time. No changes were made at all, this was the first and is the final draft of the piece. The setting of the music was set to the Classical Mozart style. The lyrics were by the poet Jolene. You can see more of her work in the link below. I hope you enjoy this collaboration, Heart.

Heart Lyrics:
My father in the heights,
Please keep me in your sight
Cuz Parkinson's takes its toll
On mind, body, and soul.

I need someone to help me cope
Someone to feed me hope
Sweet words fall from his lips
Long after our courtship

His grin, his greatest charm,
My home is in his arms
I am safe in his embrace
My love, my ace

He has strong faith in you
He'll help my faith grow too
Together we'll pray each day
Then listen to what you say

Father, I hope you agree
This prayer, my honest plea
I trust you to find the right man
Please put my heart into his hands

hmmmm I may have some things that could work. Although none of my work was written with music in mind
