Song Birds

"a beautiful song openes your heart"

                    A harmony of sounds I hear.
                Four songbirds singing in my ear.
                    My yard is where they live
                a soaring heart is what they give.
                The beauty of keeping them near.

                    There was two green and two blue.
        It made me think of the love between me and you.
          They fly through the air with the greatest of ease.
                      Flying way up top high in the trees.
             The sounds they sing I have never heard.
              So I thank God for those beautiful songbirds.
                           
                     Fill my soul with a beautiful song
                     Not a short one but make it long.
                                            Teresa Skyles
