Joy Found Me Today
It has been many long months of melancholy and sadness since
my sweet one sailed away on his little boat.

This Morning, a note of sweet Joy came to me as I went out
for my morning paper. The small sweet Mother Bird which built her nest last
year in the small tree next to my front door flew out of the tree on the other
side of the door. It has more foliage that last year’s tree. Peering into the
thicket of the leaves and branches, behold, there it was. A new little nest, waiting
to bring the gift of our Springtime to my very doorstep.
The Father Bird sings his heart out in the Pear Tree, and
the sunshine once more filters through the bows of the ficus tree. Do I join
him in his celebration of what is to come? Yes! His invitation cannot be ignored
for without his song I would not be a part of his song of life.
The Notes are sweet and penetrate my heart’s empty places,
bringing a new and Joyous song for me to sing with Him once again. My memories
of last years sharing with my sweet one when he too peered into the ficus tree
to see the little ones of the new year are with me, and the sharing continues…
Thank You Robert…these small notes of Joy are the beginning
of the New…
