A Chirpy Bird

A chirpy bird with colored wings Lends solace everyday To the great sage whose wisdom brings Advice to those astray. The children taught by him are now The mighty of the land, Yet when they see him pass they bow And humbly shake his hand. He has no wealth which eyes can see, But he is glad and proud That his disciples came to be Admired and praised aloud. He could have spent his life in quest For nothing else but gold, Yet, poor indeed, he feels so blessed His soul not to have sold. Find my poems and published poetry volumes at www.eton-langford.com
