Bird

Better to
Take a chance
Than to stay in a rut;
Or, your grasp should exceed
Your reach or what’s a heaven for?
Regret is wasted push on do not
Try to pick up the pieces and
Go home better to find a
New home by taking
Control of your
Future each
Day not
Dwell
On the past.
Today I saw a fast
Mocking bird harrying a
Whupped squirrel across a
Lawn diving time after time alive
To the thrill of life though the
Squirrel perhaps not so
Much and I thought
Better in life to
Be the bird
Not the
Tree
Rat.
Please
God make
Me a bird that
I may fly far far away.
