ONE TENDER MOMENT
I THINK THE SWEETEST JOYS IN LIFE,
ARE THOSE MORE FELT THAN SEEN,
WHEN SOMEONE SEES WITHIN OUR SOUL,
WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN.
WHEN TRUST IS FREELY GIVEN,
HEARTS MEET ON COMMON GROUND,
AND THIS IGNITES A SPARK THAT LIGHTS
UP EVERYTHING AROUND.
ONLY WHEN WE GROW MORE SIMPLE,
CAN THE LOVE WITHIN US ALL,
SPILL FORTH TOUCHING ALL WITH SPLENDOR,
THAT'S A WONDER TO RECALL.
ONCE SUCH VERY TENDER MOMENT,
WAS IT GIVEN ME TO SHARE,
WHEN I CAME UPON A RED BIRD,
PERCHED UPON MY FEEDER THERE.
HE HAD WEATHERED MANY WINTERS,
IT WAS VERY PLAIN TO SEE,
BUT HIS EYES WERE CALM AND STEADY,
AS HE TURNED TO GAZE AT ME.
AND THE THING I AM MOST PROUD OF,
IN ALL MY LIFE TODAY...
IS THAT HE LET ME STROKE HIS BACK,
...AND DIDN'T FLY AWAY.
