For Every Bird Poem by Francis Duggan

Like for all of us there is a final Spring
For every bird a final song to sing
So enjoy your walks in Nature for as long as you can
For short in time the longest lifetime span
The bird who chirps upon the leafy tree
Is not aware of death like you and me
But he too has his borders to defend
And at breeding time his wife his only friend
Our lives in time far longer than the flowers
That bloom in Spring in the life giving showers
But it is a fact of life and facts don't lie
That like Nature's flowers we too are born to die
And for every bird there is a final song
Whoever said that did not have it wrong.
