Poems of Samuel E. Stone

A Morning Lift

Each morning the song birds will sing,
perched on the evergreen trees so high,
little chicks tucked beneath their wing,
with a backdrop of the never ending sky.

A gentle breeze can be felt in the Spring air,
the warming Sun dries the dew on the ground,
young birds dive bomb as if theyfre on a dare,
while their mothers watch with a sad frown.

Simplicity of life in mother nature is found,
in the creatures that roam the forest so deep,
land of enchantment if you just look around,
animals showing joy, sorrow and even weep.

The realm of reality beckons naturefs door,
mixing danger, excitement, joys and pain,
the sky is naturefs ceiling, dirt is her floor,
a place called home so constantly sustained.

The song birds reminds us of naturefs gift,
morning they sing the sounds of eternal joy,
their chirping give lonely hearts such a lift,
soon itfs muffled by playful girls and boys.
