The Bird Sanctuary
Walking through the park, the leaves are falling, children laughing
As they play with their new found friends, as parent look on
All colours-brown, black and white, from around the globe
If only life was the same in the world, no fights or loss of rights
I approach the bird sanctuary and the birds are feeding-
Swans, ducks, coots and pigeons altogether sharing
the seeds that a passer by has thrown their way
A squirrel joins the party, tail fanned and full of hope
"Let me in she shouts," albeit in her head
"I’ll have some seeds, forget the bread"
