A Sweet Reminder

Shall we now begin to take some responsibility?

Even when the skies are grey,

And night time merges into day,

The world is such a precious place,

It puts a smile upon my face.

I think about nature and scenic views,

But sometimes I worry when I watch the news,

And see forests are burning and creatures extinct,

We need a response. It must be succinct.

Humans are animals too, you see,

We share a responsibility,

To preserve everything growing, flowering with joy,

To treat our world as a home, not merely a toy.

Now is the time for us to rebel,

To make changes that stop an ecological hell.

Let’s cherish the planet and value all things,

The next step in our journey must surely now begin…

Small Bird

I heard a small bird sing, somewhere near my house,

But when I tried to find it, it went quiet as a mouse.

I heard a small bird sing, gently ringing in my ear,

But when I tried to tickle it, it must have flew away in fear.

I heard a small bird sing, loudly by the shed,

But there was no sign of it, it had been messing with my head.

I heard a small bird sing, quietly overhead,

I pulled the covers closer, lying peacefully in bed.

I heard a small bird sing, all through the night,

But when I woke up and opened my curtains, it must have taken flight.
