Bird Box Poem by D Loveday Morris

Bird Box
It is rather kind of you
To make me that lovely box and paint it sky blue
The gorgeous flowers on the sides;
And the opening is just the right size

Now when I fly from here to there
There will always be a home for me right here
Each day I'll bring you songs
And very soon I'll invite the children to come along

Now I don't have to fear for the fox
When I get tired, I'll rest in this box
I can fly freely and see the view
And still sing lovely songs for you

You are such a beautiful soul
Among the rarest in the poll
Oh how I wish everyone was as kind
And think about birds and animals all the time

See, the earth is big enough- all can live in synergy
Enjoy nature and unearth its mystery
But if birds can't fly, then neither will you
And It's really helpful to have a bird's eye view
