Bird Music
~~~~Bird Music~~~~
"in the darkness before dawn the sparrow sings his song"
~~~
as the sun begins to rise
the canary greets the morning dawn.
with a voice ten times his size
his melody goes on and on,
serenading deer and fawn.
under shaded trees
chickadees run to and fro
chirping and at ease
while hunting for their next meal
...joining the chorus with zeal.
~~~
jealous jays know no melody
instead, God gave them a rare beauty
