The Sweetest Song

If I were a song

with a bird in me

I would sing

most joyously

from the highest tree,

I would bring

my whole within, 

I would raise

harmony to be

healing those around me. 

If I were a tune

to call to the moon

I would waft

through the silver trees,

I would float lightly

on the breeze,

I would be lighter

than ever before,

I would call more to explore.

If I were a string

on an instrument

I would sound

around

my fellow strings,

I would bring

melodies

to please the birds,

I would be the sweetest song

I ever heard.

If I was a woman

who roamed the hills

I would walk and walk

and breathe fresh air,

I would hum a tune

and whistle a song,

I would know 

the birds and I

all belong

to this wide world

and this new day

and every song

and tune would say,

bring more love

call more joy

be the one

who will enjoy

being here on the earth,

raise the notes

and sound your worth,

lift the others

and love your mothers,

be most heartily

the inspiration
 you came to be.

Be in this day,

be in this light

and shine your brightest

day and night.

Plant more trees

and bless the birds

who bring

 their songs for free

to share with All

and you and me.
