a little birdie...

It happened one fine morning as I was sitting on a bench;
a little birdie flew by and brought the train of my thoughts to a halt.

Leave behind your troubles, pick up your joys
Bring the sun on; dress up and smile

I let it guide me; I flew with it adding wings to my dreams
Soared high and far to lands yet virgin

The flight soared through clouds dark and dense;
and brought with me little rain drops, that were captured in a lens

I flip through the pages of my album, looking back at all the memories
smiling at some and waving the tears away;

Cherishing the treasures; building bridges, strengthening bonds;

Assuming that you will always lead me on.. on to the paths yet untrodden,
On to dreams yet unfulfilled; to emerge into a swan from a duckling!

Yes, lead me on birdie, to the beautiful life that lies;
To hope and energy I bow my head down to Thee and say Amen!
