Life Song
I have heard it in the still of the midnight
Strummed by a wandering breeze
Or from you breathing softly
As you sleep next to me
I have heard it in the laughter of children
As Daddy return’s from his toil
I have heard it in utter silence
As a seed pushes through the soil
Where love is stronger than judgment
I’ve heard its melody
Or as I turn a brittle page
Of ancient poetry
In the clutter of every-day living
In a moment of undeserved grace
I've heard it rise from life's ruins
To kiss a tear-stained face
I’ve heard it in the hollow of longing
In midnight’s quietness
A song of life and living
And quiet thankfulness
