Red Birds
It's wintertime, the horizon bleak & gray
Everywhere I look is dull & dury
But wait, I take a closer look
What do I see ?/?
Bright splashes of RED in the trees
On the ground and all around
It's the RED BIRDS
with their brilliant scarlet plums
Sitting there to chase away our glum's
Soon you will be smiling
Because you know
They do not go away with the snow
They hang around during the COLD
so there will be some color
BRIGHT & BOLD
It's amazing how these birds of RED
Take away the winter doldrums
that form in our heads..
