My Heart And I Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

Listening to songs of spring
My heart and I joined in to sing the melody.
Pianissimo, my dear, whispered mother nature
No need to sing at top volume above the sound
Of humming birds and buzzing bees, so
Once again, pianissimo please.
The daffodils sang, their trumpet blaring,
Cardinals sang in colorful musical flight,
Crows and robins sang with all their might
Their musical tones, enchanting to the ear
My heart and I raised our voices with flair.
Blooming cherry trees sang a little off key
And towering pines joined in with glee,
Their voices booming, echoing high in the sky,
The oak and spruce sang in sweet harmony
To make even the angels sigh.
New green grasses whistled in their lowest key,
My heart and I sang each song happily with zest,
Pianissimo at Mother Nature's request!
