A Robin Came to Say Hello ...
I was missing you this morning
But I did not need to fear
As a beautiful red robin
Came to tell me you were near
It settled down in front of me
And, as it looked me in the eye
I could feel your warmth and energy
Before he gently flew on by
Now my heart, it feels at peace again
I know you're never far away
Thank you, dearest Robin
Please come again another day.
