Enchanted

I heard a lovely note
One early day in June

I listened quietly
For sure it had a tune

The moment was so brief
I hardly knew I heard

Was it but a feather
The wind had lightly stirred?

The sound was as a hymn
That wafted on a breeze

Enchanted as a child
I longed for it to see

My footsteps led me on
My heart, too, knew the way

‘Twas not so very far
Just minutes in a day

That found me standing 
In your garden way

Hovering at the flower
Just blossoming today –
