I once met you, in the middle of a forest. <br />I pretended I didn't see you. <br />Your garb so beautiful, your voice so sweet. <br />It made your grace so complete. <br /> <br />You enjoyed hopping here and there. <br />On the forest floor you danced. <br />Around the tree trunk you pranced. <br />Your mood was so merry. <br /> <br />I'm glad my dear bluebird, <br />That I met you today. <br />You brought me luck, beauty and happiness. <br />And for all that, nobody could pay.<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/met-you-2/
