When life is filled with anguish
When words are hard to find
We think of kindred spirits
They stay within the mind
The gifts that they will leave us
They seem to give us peace
One moment's time reflection
The smiles of life increase
For those who touched our spirits
They'll always be aware
We lift our heads to heaven
We say a little prayer
Let me hear the bird's song
On every day of life
The one that gives me pleasure
That eases all our strife
Upon a barren branch now
The bird is there to see
He sings his special tune now
The one "remember me"
In spring when buds are blooming
Upon the branch he flies
The sweetest song is heard now
They echo through the skies
In summer trees are dressed now
With leaves that fill the breeze
The gentle song I hear now
Are joined within the leaves
In fall when leaves are falling
The bird of life still there
Giving us sweet harmony
The song of life to share
For every season coming
For those that softly leave
The music of your heart lives
Remembering with ease
In life we share this beauty
With friendship that's conceived
The Bird will sing his song now
Your love will be received.
