the same song

sweetly the robin sings
whilst the crickets and frogs echo

the wind blows heartily
tossing the butterfly as it flutters
it directs the seas 
and moves the flock

a child runs happily
across the meadow 
soaked of brilliant flowers
stretching to reach the warmth of the sun

it’s a familiar melody
as it’s the same song

a thank you 
for the gift of life.
