Birds are always well, or better than me,
They think little but think fast,
They are two wings to convince you,
You make daisies cry …

Birds sing better than the air, or better than me,
They are not afraid of the rain which dismisses them,
Nor of the sun spread as a cream,
They are not jealous of Hollywood stars or neighbors.

Birds are always well, or better than me,
Think of them if you are in bad mood shoes,
They think little, but think fast, that,
That the happiness never has to wait …

Happiness, Yann, is a birdsong, one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

Nicely done, my friend - birds, in one iteration or another have been a part of my life since I knew what one was. I've raised them, bred them, nursed and cared for them, studied and spoke about them.  Only thing I hate is the laws taking most of that away from us, laws mostly created by special interest groups (oh, isn't that what the U.S. Congress is...)

Enjoyed your piece,


j.
