A Robin's Song

A love poem written long ago

A Robin’s Song



As I awoke this morning, alone in our bed,
strains of a melody filled my head.

And as there I lay, so quiet and still ,
sunbeams danced on our window sill.

A breeze blew softly from somewhere above,
as robins sang sweet songs of love!

A song about a lady fair,
deep green eyes and auburn hair.

As I heard the story of this princess bride,
my heart was filled with selfish pride.

For the image that burned within my mind,
was that of a woman precious and kind,

I knew in an instant her touch, her smell ,
her voice so pure, I knew it well.

The angel of whom they sang you see,
was everything, that you are to me.

So now when ere a robin’s song I hear
or feel the soft sweet warmth of sunbeams near,

I think of you, my love, my life
and thank God for the gift of your beautiful light!”
