The birds were singing cheerfully, as I worked out today; And as I listened carefully, this is what they had to say. "This is the day, the first one, the very first of spring. When each of God's creations, should lift its voice and sing." From deep down inside it came, I do not know from where. A song burst forth from my dry throat and soared into the air. Then all the trees and flowers joined in the happy beat. Even the little grasses were dancing at my feet. For just a little while the world was in such sweet accord, As this melody erupted in praises to the Lord. When next you listen and you hear a little bird's sweet song; Your burdens will be lightened if you just sing along. by: Joyce )3/20/2000 |

Joyce, I love the sweet simplicity of your lovely poem, and I too will sing along with you...Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

A bird sang while I was reading this, joining your vivid description of Spring. Kind of like 3-D poetry!! LOL |

Welcome Joyce! We're happy to have you here. The flow on this was beautiful, it's very well written. The message is very uplifting, and makes your heart want to sing. I'm so looking forward to those days of Spring, when the birds sing, and I think I might just join them. (quietly of course)  Hope to see many more! |

Thank you for the welcome and kind words. This is a charming poem and lifts the spirits, but in deference to the fine spring day I won’t join in – fairly sure you were not talking about the crows. Lol |
