A Little Girls Joy

A little girl was standing on her porch one afternoon.

Her mommy called to her through the window, “Honey it’ll be lunchtime soon.”

Bobby-Jean said, “Ok mommy.” As she came running into the room.

“Mommy, I heard the birds singing, it filled me with such joy, I joined right in, and sang my own little tune.”

“Sing it for me, Bobby-Jean.” Her mommy said with pride.

Bobby-Jean opened her heart and poured out her song that came flowing from deep inside.

I’ve never heard an angel sing, but the birdies with sweet melodies bring, joy that makes my little heart sing, all the way to heaven.

Jesus he, will join right in, singing over me.

Every day I’ll listen to, the birds’ sweet songs and sing along, hoping the angels know the song and then they too will sing along.

Jesus he, will join right in, singing over me.

“Bobby-Jean, what a lovely song. To think that Jesus sings with you and wondering if the angels too, sing along with you.”

“I’ve never heard an angel sing.” Mommy said with love.

“But baby, I know that if I did, they’d sound just like you.”
