they won't sing

If you don’t listen to the birds, they won’t sing, Sometimes you have to wake up early, And it’s the same for everything in life, If you don’t take the first step, you don’t exist. Si vous n’écoutez pas les oiseaux, ils ne chanteront pas, Il faut parfois savoir se lever tôt, Et c’est pareil pour tout dans la vie, Si vous ne faites pas le premier pas, vous n’existez pas.

Yes Yann, you have captured the essence of success. Not a soul can succeed without the first ray of effort. A beautifully sweet, concise verse that is as profound as the universe itself ! I admire the poem and the poet ! Cheers from Wen

Even birds and animals crave for attention and response from huma beings. It makes them happy. Only by taking the first step, we can persuade others into doing something ! Your poem leads us to think. Well written Yaan !

Oh yes, very true, such thoughtful depth you've conveyed here in these words, enriched with wisdom! We have to rise up from the slumber of consciousness and take that first step to change our present, otherwise what's the meaning of existing? A very intriguing and inspiring write this is.. Please reading this, love it. Sending light & best wishes ~

Deep words dear Yann.. I do not care what the birds sings as long as they sing... yet so many lost the message.. Great analogy..

So true and well said , what a deep and meaningful write this is, if we dont allow light to reach our soul , the sun sometimes too wont rise, and just like you’ve said if you dont listen the birds too wont sing and somethings sometimes come our way when we take the first step. I absolutely loved reading this one. Sending you light always
