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.
