A Robin

Yesterday I saw a Robin
That harbinger of Spring
After eating his fill at my feeder
He swiftly took wing

I'd like to know where he came from
I'd like to know where he's going
I hope he is heading South
Away from where it's snowing

He was such a pretty bird
I'd like for him to stay
But I know he has to spread the news
That Spring is on the way

So hurry Mr. Red Breast
Spead the happy word
After such a long winter
It's the best news I have heard

You Gotta Love Those Robins!
