Melodies

A wren woke me this morning
with a melody forthcoming.
Several notes were heard sung
strung together in a run.

Was it practicing a concerto
with an audition in alto?
It didn't seem to follow the rules
as so many musicians are taught to.

It was up and down the scale
as the melody sailed
through the air,
meant to share.

It got my attention
through the window open.
If only I could imitate the melody
I know you too would think the song was lovely.

If someone would memorize than record,
it would be a #1 hit record.
A heavenly melody
sung in a tune quite pretty.

A cardinal now joins in.
What a happy way to begin
this Sunday morning -
with joyous singing.

The air is filled with tweets,
chirps, twitters and cheeps.
This feathered band
awaken humans.

I hope your day starts with a song.
Before long you'll be singing along.
Your day will be better for it
if there is a song in it.

A song in one's heart
no matter what
for you'll find cheerful singing
changes one's disposition.
A joyful attitude
brightens everyone's mood.

Turn some music on
and sing to the song.
You'll feel better.
Your heart lighter.
For music soothes the soul
and fills your heart full.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things.
Psalm 98:1

Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them".
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
Psalm 126:6

Is anyone happy?
Let him sing songs of praise.
James 5:13
