- a Bird Sings Only When It Is Happy -

A white dove flies gracefully across vision Shines as transparent pieces of ivory joy I give you a Candle of Love, for inspire and encourage you Blown gently upon a soft warm lovely breeze Falling slowly like a ripe apple With sad confusion, I promise you heaven Everything will fall into place and gives you, perfect pleasure of life Love whispering on wings fluttering deep It is possible to change your tomorrow, if you seek your dream today To watch the light change i pray for your beauty to return My arms are full of flowers, the beauty the unfathomable grace Reborn under a promise of color inside the mist bouquet dream Written by Liam Mcdaid & A-L Andresen :) 11.04.2015 Copyright © All Rights Reserved
