The
songbird went unnoticed,
No beauty
to attract...
People passed it
every day,
And never once
looked back.
There were
no brilliant colors,
To rate admiring
glance...
Nothing to
make her special,
And nothing to
enhance.
Too often talent
just slips by,
Buried inside
the cover...
Like greatness
of a book ignored,
That no one will
discover.
Yet when that
songbird has a chance,
To sing sweet
melody...
The beauty is in
what we hear,
And not in what
we see.
A talent
that we never knew,
This plain one
might possess...
Yet deeply
touched as we should be
By songbird, truly
blessed.

Dedicated to the newly discovered songbird
Susan Boyle, from Scotland.
Likely the most beautiful voice we will ever hear. Check
