Summary: A song of birds
To hear a choir of bluebirds sing
Oh such a wondrous thing!
They make every day such a happy time
With their upbeat tunes, rhythm, and rhyme!
Ask about their color and name, you’ll see
How they got it is no real mystery
The sky above provides a clue
It’s no wonder why they’re blue!
When they sing, the clouds seem to fly
This way and that, revealing a sapphire sky
The sun shines through without a care
Like a crystal with sparkle and flare
Letting us know that life still has its ups
To get over the downs with a half-full cup.
So follow the bluebirds on their cheerful path
Forgive and forget all wrongs, sorrows, and wrath
Lead a life filled with love and cheer
Be good to those whom you meet here
And maybe we’ll see each other again soon
Somewhere far beyond the moon.
