Melody of the Birds
By Vincent Valentine
Be silent, and cheerfully hearken to the delightful birds in song
Linger, yes, linger there and hearken long
For the birds of the sky, as blue as the sea
Bring to you this melody
A song of the brightly lit golden sun
A song of wakening is joyfully sung
A melody to greet the day
And bring peace to your every way
Do not take the birds for granted
For the world is day by day
Mystically enchanted
By the things the birds will say
Let these birds sing their song
And softly, in your thoughts, applaud
For the songs these birds have sung
Are for all, each and every one
