Yet again it has happened.
Once more I was reading poetry,
The radio was on,
And this song was sung.
This song I have known,
Known all my life.
I can sing all the words,
Heard it sung by many singers,
They all sing it so well,
And yet today it was different.
It was as though I had heard it,
Heard it for the first time.
The voice so wonderful
Gave new meaning to the song.
Such mastery of words,
Of sound,
Of passion.
My world stopped as I listened,
Listened to the wonder,
That was touching my soul.
“Oh what a beautiful morning”
Moved me,
Moved into my day with wonder.
