Like for all of us there is a final Spring <br />For every bird a final song to sing <br />So enjoy your walks in Nature for as long as you can <br />For short in time the longest lifetime span <br />The bird who chirps upon the leafy tree <br />Is not aware of death like you and me <br />But he too has his borders to defend <br />And at breeding time his wife his only friend <br />Our lives in time far longer than the flowers <br />That bloom in Spring in the life giving showers <br />But it is a fact of life and facts don't lie <br />That like Nature's flowers we too are born to die <br />And for every bird there is a final song <br />Whoever said that did not have it wrong.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-every-bird/
