Dry your tears, baby girl, and reach up to the sky

God will be your guiding light, set your spirits high

Speak to Him today, let Him take away your sorrows

Then speak to Him again, and all of your tomorrows

Do not worry, baby girl, everything’s been planned

Let the sadness disappear, into God’s almighty hands

Smile, my baby girl, let no more tears be shed

Just look up to Heaven, let His light shine through, instead

It isn’t something to find, under the tree

There is no wrapping nor bow to untie

Family, by far, is the best gift, you see

Tis the one thing that money can’t buy

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break!  Thank you, Colleen ❤  The words this week are Fly and Sing.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Soar and Serenade.


Gliding in the sky

A small bird does serenade

The tree it calls home

Soaring above the green leaves

Admiring from afar

She makes her nest upon the water

When winter solstice comes to call

Calms the ocean, silences the wind

Ever elusive, this halcyon, so small

She sleeps among the rippling waves

Then flies away, we know not when

And so we wait until the time is right

For this wondrous bird, to return again
