I hear them float through my window,
Such a mellifluous sound
Of innocence and tenderness,
A parental bond they've found

Too soon their voices have gone,
As silence creeps through the air
Birds gently sing me a song,
Remind me they're always there

You see, if you ever feel lonely
There's one simple thing you must do
Open each one of your senses
To the beauty surrounding you
