Happiness Is like a Song

February 17, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day.

Today’s poem compares the happiness of love to an angel’s song.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Happiness is like a song

Angels cannot help but sing,

Praising Heaven loud and long,

Pleased to make the heavens ring.

Yet though we may not angels be,

Vested in our hearts is love,

An angelic melody

Like those sung rapturously above.

Each of us is lit with longing,

Needing both to get and give,

To feel the beauty of belonging

Inundate the life we live.

Nor is my joy an angel's joy

Except your love my spirits buoy.
