Music To My Ears

When my beloved lost his battle bravely fought for many years All alone in deep despair each day I drowned in my own tears Then one spring morn, just before dawn, I heard the sweetest song A blackbird singing his morning chorus, such joy not heard for so long The song he sang had many words, expressing his love he waxed lyrical I felt my beloved had sent me a gift; it was truly my morning miracle And sometimes during summer evenings for his final curtain calls His singing calms my mind like soothing sounds as water falls He came to me a week ago, such a welcome springtime surprise For winter time so dark and lonely a season I often despise I had missed him so through winter’s snow and anniversary tears Now thrilled my morning miracle brings music to my ears Written 15th February 2019 Contest: Music to my ears Sponsor: Silent One 2nd place Contest: Late Feb 2019 Sponsor: Brian Strand 1st place
