I told the blue jay <br />I saw yesterday about <br />Your gentle touch. <br />I told the flowers dancing <br />In warm breezes about your smile, <br />Your smile that made the sun jealous. <br />The tree brances bowed low, <br />To hear of your laughter, <br />While I lay on the grass sharing <br />Little secrets about you. <br />The little creatures of nature listened <br />And were pleased. <br />Soon it was dusk, <br />The moon said 'Hush your bragging, <br />Tis just a dream, come morning he'll be gone.' <br />The stars twinkled, oh so brightly, <br />Slyly winking at me. <br />The big dipper over flowed with some magic potion, <br />That makes dreams last and last for all eternity. <br />I wanted to thank her after we sang together, <br />Your praises, but morning came too fast... <br />Morning dew kissed my face and shared my <br />Tears, <br />Then you kissed me and banished my fears. <br /> <br /> <br />June 16,1878<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-sing-a-different-song/
