I was sitting outside admiring our garden
When a wave of sorrow started to swell
Though the sky was blue and the roses sweet
My thoughts just went to you
Sometimes my heart will be so quiet and let
Me get on with my day, but today it was loud
And wanted to sob and let my hurt seep out
As I sat and cried soon a bird began to sing
I listened for a minute and finally turned
And knew this song was for me
A Mama cardinal was perched in my tree and I stood
To greet her and say- Mom, I know that’s you coming
To me to let me know
You’re okay
She sang and sang
And I stood so still
Sweetly serenaded
By the Cardinals song
While my heart began to fill
You left but you’re here
And I’m never alone
When sorrow comes
I’ll go outside
To listen to the Cardinals song
