Music Mine Poem by Elizabeth Lindberg

If a picture paints a thousand words
so does a single note,
tingling on the breeze of life,
the sound of love and hope,
a warbler calls on to his mate,
a mockingbird can sing,
sounds so sweet one might wonder
God is listening,
I think he sent some song my way
and placed it in my heart,
the music traveled to my head,
and made my fingers smart,
they're very happy when they hold,
a mandolin and play,
when words fail me my fingers know,
just what I want to say,
the sweet notes are so beautiful,
I thank God for the gift,
the music never fails to give,
my soul some happiness
