“It was a simple glass bottle……..”

It was a simple glass bottle,

that gave me a gift of song,

that day.

It was a beautiful sunny day,

on the waterfront side of my home.

With a fresh cold, iced beer,

I sat on the back porch.

The breeze was beautiful as diamonds of light,

sparkled off the water before me.

A curious thing happened as I slowly drank that beer.

The outside wind played through the empty part of the bottle.

A song, like no other, played through the glass.

It was a haunting song of eons,

from another time.

As I drank more liquor from the bottle,

the song changed in pitch to a sweeter song.

It came to me at that moment,

that God‘s gifts to us are never ending.

In prayer,

I gave thanks to God,

for His gifts to me,

that day,

and the song of the bottle.
