Wren Song

Wren Song

I hear a wren sing everyday

He's loud and clear, as if to say

I'm here! I'm here! can you hear me?

He sings from high up in a tree

Sometimes from the house's peak,

And  sometimes lower places seek
He sings from decks and porches too

Most anywhere that's high will do

His notes are pure and trills are sweet

As oft I hear the wren repeat

It's a song of joy, of strength and hope

A song that simply helps you cope

A tiny bird with tune so clear

It lifts the hearts of those who hear

I want to sing a verse so strong

I hear! I hear! Thanks for your song-

I wrote this for my grandson Alex. He lives in California and I am always telling him about the birds in Carolina. I told him I would write him a poem about Carolina birds if he would write me a poem too. So here it is little buddy, Poppy is waiting for your verse. Love you a bunch.
