I looked out my window and saw a blue bird,
Rememebered that even his happiness was absurd.
I lost my best friend yesterday,
I couldn't find find the words to make her stay.
I broke the ring my lover gave me,
Right after his boat was lost at sea.
My only daughter left for college today,
And I won't see her again till next May.
My car broke down on my way to town,
And the closest mechanic was a long way down.
In the waiting room I saw a news show,
My business building just collapsed no survivors found that they know.
The man beside me said,
'Thank the Lord... you'd have been dead.'
I had to words to reply,
I simply waited for the repair to be done as I let out a sigh.
On my way home I drove slowly,
Thought about today and how the lucky one was me.
Tragedy had struck me,
I had lost all faith in God... but then I thought about today, now I see.
It could have been a mircale,
Maybe it was God?
Who knows whats up there in the sky,
Maybe there isn't anything and we're all just waiting to die.
But while I'm living here I know I'll do the best I can,
Because when I die I hope to know I did the best I someone ever can.
To live a good and long life even if I cry alot,
I'll strive to make the friends and strangers smile Iike I've been taught.
And hope that for one more day I'll live to see another way,
A way to hear the blue birds sing with happiness they can only bring.
