Lesson from Birdie

Birdie, birdie, my little birdie

What makes you so happy?

What keeps you so light hearted and free spirited?

Don't you know that cold weather is on the way?

Soon, it will be Winter

And there won't be anything for you to eat

no fruits on trees to peck

and no bugs in the bark to chew on

You seem so worry free

hopping from branch to branch

tweeting and squeaking your lungs out

Don't you ever sit and worry

as we, the humankind normally do

We've been told that we rank high in intelligence

common sense, creativity and performance

Yet, we don't seem to enjoy life at all

Wherever I look, I see people busy and strained

singing seemed stopped

and laughter hardly heard

Yes, we've  food to feed many tummies for an year

probably, enough wealth to last for decades

yet, we walk around joyless and heavy hearted.

No wonder the Lord told us to look at you

and to learn from you.

So, tell us little birdie

what's your secret?

What makes you sing even when there's nothing to eat

and no branches around to build r nest?***
