I Heard a Bird Singing

I heard a bird singing
As I was on my way
It led direction for me
As it took my breath away

It warbled cheerfully,
From a tree above the snow
It spread its song gleefully,
What kind of bird, I wanted to know

I heard a bird singing
Its melody surrounded me
I turned in circles bringing,
Each note closer, to be free

It sounded like spring, in winter
A happy, fresh new start
Helping to release the splinter
And heal the pain within my heart

Love the sound of birdsong, announcing the approach of spring. Can't come quick enough. Tom
