Songbird clearly song do sing
For surely I am listening
I put out feed so everyday
You will sing and want to stay
Today I missed your dinner song
And food I fain put out
Tomorrow I won't be so long
I said but thought with doubt
Songbird, I'm here, it's been a while
I've brought some food to make you smile
More to the point to make you sing
So do come out and do your thing
The days have filed into a week
And still the feeders vacant
No trills from feathered puffed out cheeks
From black and yellow raiment
It wasn't fair, I did my part
Good bird food I did serve
And I was here, well most the time
To get what I deserve!
We should take care In what we think
Whether uttered words or not
The universe is known to wink
Make real our subtle thought
And now I see it's what I got
A well earned, custom, issued lot
Constructed by my daily toil
Seeds planted into fertile soil
My child who would daily come
And tell me of his day
I have not seem him lately
It seems he stays away
So I asked him pointedly
What catalyst change has lead
He looked up straight into my soul
And this is what he said,
"Your presence I in daily came
Expectantly to find
Scraps of love you'd leave behind
Small treasures for my mind
And though I daily came
With hunger daily new
I often left with hunger yet
Cause here there was no you
You may have been too late from work
Or maybe here but not
I could see you physically
But absent was your thought
So slowly I stopped coming round
With time I lost my ferve
It seemed to me that I should look
And find what I deserve.
Songbird clearly song do sing
For now I'm surely listening
I put out feed everyday
Remembering what I'm missing
