The Lovely Little Red Bird
The Lovely Little Red Bird
By Betty Harp Butler
Hi! Little red bird
On a limb up high,
With nothing above you,
But bright blue sky.
Sing your twittering song
To all those down below.
Then spread your little wings
And decide which way to go.
Or could your sweet song
Be for another bird nearby?
If so, keep on twittering
Soon both of you can fly away
On the wind and through the sky.
Are you a cardinal or simply red?
Your singing is sweet, up over my head.
Lovely to hear, at the end of the day.
Keep singing the melody, Twitter away!
