I heard a songbird or so I thought
A voice more golden than money
A sound that soothed my soul, warmed my heart
And sweetened my lips like honey
I yearned to listen more intently
I was beguiled by all it seemed to say
I searched the horizon for but a clue
But nary a bird flew by this day
Then I glanced into a mirror
A glimpse of an angel did I see
Parted lips spread across such beauty
I knew the notes were from thee
Then I realized the face I knew
Belonged to she who held my spirit
To be graced with such a gift from God
For eternity I will always cherish it
