Gary R. Ferris Poems

Back to Poems Page

Consider the birds, and how they sing,

Giving thanks to God, with voices that ring.
*****
Joyful and gracious, they awake to say,

“Thank you Lord for a brand new day”.
*****
Why are they happy and so inspired?

While humans moan, because they’re still tired?
*****
What do they know that we haven’t got?

We struggle so hard to get out of the cot.
*****
Maybe they know that yesterday is gone,

And new hope begins at the break of dawn.
*****
They’re so happy to still have life,

Forgetting yesterday and all it’s strife.
*****
They’ll soar high and breath fresh air,

Start a new nest or whatever they dare.
*****
Glad for today and ignoring the past,

Chancing the odds, they’ll have a blast.
*****




Considering the birds, what have we learned?

Yesterday is gone, so why be concerned.
*****
Look forward to the blessings a new day will bring,

And rise up early and begin to sing.
*****
