LIKE A SYMPHONY

        by Emily M. Parris
        Dedicated to John Denver

Beautiful music is your gift to me
Each song is like a symphony

Songs of wonder, love and cheer
On each one your voice so clear

Songs redone from days long ago
Songs that I have always loved so

Songs to celebrate the season
Songs of caring, rhyme and reason

So many songs you give to me
That I must reward this symphony

Your loving songs inspire me so
Like a river of love I feel them flow

They flow from you to me and back
As they progress from track to track

I have to stop and express my love
For your music lifts me far above

You are so sweet to send the river
You are the most exquisite giver

If I could write for a million years
With heartfelt emotion and joyful tears

It could not equal the love you send
For your river of love seems to never end

So many songs, so much tender caring
I'm so glad it's with me you're sharing

For there never was a sweeter song
Than the beautiful ones you send along
