Bird of Peace

A bird came to me one night "Be still" he said, "And have no fright" My body trembled as he came near And then he began to whisper in my ear He spoke of love and certain things Then all at once he began to sing He sang a soft and long lullaby It was so beautiful that I began to cry The bird, he wiped my tears away And said, "Please my child do not dismay You must learn to lift your fears" Then all at once he disappeared A bird came to me in my sleep Upon my bed he did creep I wish I knew from where he came The bird that tried to ease my pain Because I would like to thank the bird For all the gentle words from him I heard But somewhere deep within my soul I feel he's near and that he knows
