Little bird
you're sitting there
on a branch
whistling
your little song
for the world.
Little bird
you're sitting here
by the lake
just as I am,
watching nature
while you sing.
Why can I not
wonder, as you
about the beauty
around me
on this quiet
sunny day?
Little bird
you sing your song
and with it
you praise all
the wonders of nature
present here
in the sunshine.
Little bird
you're sitting there
on your branch
watching the world
with your eyes
not problem-free either
and still you sing
your happy song.
Why can I not
like you
forget about all
my problems and sorrows
and for just a moment
sing my own
sweet praise
to the beauty
that surrounds me?
Why can I not
share your optimistic happiness
and let myself be lifted
to a Heaven
far away
from all my worries.
