Life Lessons
He floats and curves
And sways and swerves.
Never to balk.
The red-tail Hawk.
---
She's grounded in search
Of worms, on the lurch.
Her head always bobbin'
The red red Robin.
---
His voice ne'er the same
A song fit for fame.
His tune is his word.
Melodic Mockingbird.
---
She jumps and darts
The leaves she parts.
Her brood she must tend
Oh Carolina Wren.
---
His plumage so bright
Color red just right.
Claiming his ward 'n all
Possessive Cardinal.
---
Each oh so different
Their shape, color, song,
Teach us a lesson...
How to just get along.
