Today as I go and sit under my Old Oak Tree......
I looked up high, as far as I could see.
There were two birds sitting on a limb,
Bird #2 said to Bird #1...................
Let's go fly and see all the sights today.
Bird#1 said to Bird#2, I'm tired........
I don't feel like flying, go on, I think I'll stay.
So Bird#2 started flapping his wings,
As he began to fly.
He flew over Valleys, Rivers, and Fields,
When something caught his eye.
He couldn't believe what he had seen.........
Then he began to cry.
There below him on the ground....sat Bird#3,
He was trying with all his might to fly...........
With only one wing......you see.
Bird #2 knew with flapping only one wing,
He'd never take to the sky.
Bird#3 said to Bird#2........"I'll never give up,
Tomorrow again I'll try.
Bird #2 flew home at the end of the day...........
He told Bird#1........"don't every complain,
Always count your blessings,
And be thankful in every way".
A Lesson Learned!
