Time Will Not Wait

Birds will descend on the fields of brown wheat Missed grains leftover for the birds to eat Instinct will guide them for the flight to come To store energy they’ll eat every crumb. Bears feed on berry bushes to the fill In cold waters, they take salmon at will Their last chance to store fat as they prepare When nature says they must go to their lair. The squirrels scurry round as nuts they find Bury them as treasures of every kind. Animals know when they must plan ahead For if they don’t they may just end up dead. How many times does man procrastinate? Heed natures warning, for time will not wait.
