Life's Little Wonders

The songbird at dawn fills the fresh morning air

With the nectar of music. He pridefully croons.

Rejecting submission, repeating with fervor,

It makes a soul wonder who taught him his tune.

He sings to the sun as it climbs the horizon

Sings to the moon as it floats through the clouds

Sings to the heavens as stars twinkle brightly

Sings for his lady alone in a crowd.

 

Life's little wonders so often forgotten

Or taken for granted... In sight yet unseen.

The scent of wild flowers, the burst of their colors

From pink to magenta and twelve shades of green.

 

Life is filled with wonders so subtle

That most pass us by as we hurry along.

It's only by stopping and waiting and listening

The songbird can lend us the joy of his song.
