Mrs Robin

I am looking out my window The sky is overcast Mrs. Robin scurries across my lawn Oblivious to the weather forecast They're calling for rain and thunder But Mrs. Robin is not alarmed Her only concern is finding worms And protecting her babies from harm She's happy with her simple life Just carrying out nature's plan We would all do well to pay attention Good advice for our fellow man Get back to a simpler way of life Just be happy you're alive Feeling the love of family and friends It's the only way to survive Sound like a Utopian existence? I've been called a dreamer before No doubt we've got to start somewhere Before the world we know is no more ©Jack Ellison 2012
