Lessons From A Mockingbird


Sing on, fair Mockingbird, sing on!
And teach your lesson true;
Would to God that most of us
Could learn a lesson from you.

Yesterday a gale surrounded
‘Til you wings faint held the breeze ~
But today you sing as though you dwelled
In Eden’s glory trees.

...I see your nest upon the ground ~
Your little one destruction,
And wonder you can sing at all...
But there’s your song...perfection!

...When trials come to me or mine,
Acceptance come so slowly;
Grief, resentment, fear, dismay,
Make me feel so lowly...

But...here you are, noble troubadour!
Oh, yes ~ I’ll listen too,
For my heart can hear your lyrics:
“He lives! He’s coming soon!”
