**Birds of a Feather**


Birds fly in and birds fly out

Of a little puddle with a waterspout,

They flitter and flutter as they bathe

And toss the water the puddle gave.


They all join in to take their baths

And the little pond becomes alive,

With the flutter of tiny wings everywhere

As busy as bees in a hive.


Some birds large and some birds small

It's like a jamboree or free-for-all,

Then some birds leave and anothers arrive

In this little puddle they seem so alive.


When some birds fly away, many follow

They all turn at the very same time,

Whether up or down or all around

They all have the same rhythm or rhyme.


Its amazing to watch them in unison

As they quickly dart here and there,

Like a small dark cloud twirling around

As it moves rapidly through the air.


Some are black birds some are ravens

Some are sparrows and morning doves too,

Each unique in color and size 

Just the same as me and you..!!


They all have a voice and a chance to chirp

Or caw, tweet and even coo,

They speak their minds for the world to hear

Whether you listen is up to you.


We could take a lesson from our feathered friends

On how to treat each other,

Differences make us unique or special

But we are still sisters and brothers.


There should be a comradery among us

Where we all can get along with one another,

Though siblings may disagree from time to time

There is still a deep love among each other.


We can still work along side one another

And share in our labors of the day,

We can create a wonderful world together

And still listen to what each has to say.


We can respect the lives and dreams of others

We can share in their labors too,

We can unite in our purposes and desires

To bring about a better life for me and you.


So, imagine again the little flock of birds

And how they flitter and flutter so,

But when they leave and fly to greater heights

They gather together and in unison go!
