Rhythm 'n' Rhyme Showcase

Birds

As the birds walked, along the edge of the pond

I could see, how they feel inside

Ìý

Some where happy, yet some I could see where sad

As the little ducklings walked beside their parents

Ìý

My heart was suddenly full of sadness

Because what if tomorrow never comes?

Ìý

All you can hope for is the best in life

But never dwell on the worst.

Ìý

Deep in your mind share your thoughts with God

And hopefully all good things should come to you

Ìý

Maybe your questions may not be answered'

But you can be sure they will be heard

Ìý

Be sure to love both yourself and family

But most of all remember when you have God

Ìý

You have love

Ìý
