Birdie
Little Birdie wild and free
Will you sing a song for me?
A trill, a warble, a little tweet
Each morning brings a sound so sweet
I hear you call to friends nearby
And listen for their swift reply
Your sound conveys a special meaning
I wish I knew what you were feeling
Each note a letter, each group a word
A language I have never heard
What do you say when you call out
What is your message all about?
I stand transfixed at dawn each day
In awe of what you have to say
Peace surrounds me, welcome bliss
Each note becomes a gentle kiss
You sit perched high upon a wire
I stand and watch and never tire
I pause and listen in perfect calm
Your tones for me a healing balm
I’d wish the morning never end
That I might keep my special friend
That I might stand with just us two
And hear your song the whole day through
