I hummed a tune not long ago
and the sound of it took my breath away.
It came from somewhere deep inside,
perhaps from some far and distant day.
I’ve never hummed the song before,
but it seems a vital part of me,
something inherent in my bones,
a lovely song, but a mystery.
And then today, when I stood by you,
I heard you humming that melody,
the same notes that formed the beautiful song
that feeds my spirit and nourishes me.
Why are we blessed with this lovely surprise?
And why do I find it familiar, a friend?
It seems a part of my being, my soul.
When did it start? When will it end?
And then tonight, as I knelt by my bed,
I heard these words that made me weep:
You were born with the song I gave you, my child.
It is yours, my gift, for you to keep
and sing every day as a memory
of where you’ve come from, and to whom you belong,
not just to you, but to all who are mine.
This is my gift, your sacred song.
It was then it came clear what I longed to be true.
We all bear Love’s mark, given at birth.
It matters not who, nor where we may be.
We who live on this beautiful earth
bear within the same sacred song.
What if our song was shared in one voice,
in unity: “Justice and peace must thrive!”
What if we dared to make this choice?
We all share one song,
let us be of one mind
and bless the earth with singing.
Shining Spirit 
I will sing with you for I can sing in a bass, tenor, alto and even some soprano voice – I just don’t know when.
