"The Birds"
Enormous effort to be brave
We grasp it fast should shoulders cave
And topple deals we planned with care
That when they’re lost tis hard to bear
The notion on which I am dwelling
About our nature I find quite telling
I sometimes think our species dim
Too apt to act on bare a whim
And then when things do go awry
Our dense response is to ask “why?”
Yet there are moments, so delightful
When we show ourselves insightful
Optimistic, and so sharing
A gritty pluck, that’s game and daring
And THAT is what should be our stead
A kaleidoscope swirls in our head
A hopefulness of dreams fulfilled
That comes to be because it’s willed
There’s little time that’s granted so
Make use of it, get up and go!
Whatever in this life you seek
Even if on highest peak
Is worth the climb, we’ve come to learn
Accomplishments, deserved when earned
Then even if in night you’ve died
You’ll leave this earth quite satisfied…
