As the light
It's getting light soon
spring is announcing itself
the days become longer
I hear the birds sing
They migrate to different places
looking for a good spot
to build a nest for their little ones
where they hatch out the egs
They use twigs and feathers
so the nest is soft and strong
and when it's time to come out
the eggshells will burst
Mother and father take their turns
to provide the little ones
with some tasty mjammie worms
or other delicious foods
Some of the little birds
are to week to outlive
mother throws it out the nest
so others have more space
To become healthy birdies
in a tough world to survive
and when they're grown enough
they go out to fly
As soon as the light in east
comes up with the sun
they wake up in an adult life
to start a whole new day
Where they fly and fly
repeating their parents way
until their time is done here
and birdies paradise waits
