Do Bluebirds Make You Smile

 


Do bluebirds make you smile, like me

Just a flash of blue across my way

And an upturned grin will likely be

To last througout the rest of day


Tiny little critters and sometimes hard to see

They flit and flutter 'cross our lives and destiny

Seldom has the sight of one in front of me

Brought anything but joy and perfect harmony


Now we may build a box or two

So they can nest both safe and sound

To lay their eggs where none can view

And fledge their clutch above the ground


For bluebirds hold a special place

In all that view and watch them grow

They occupy a rare exclusive space

That  lifts and sets our hearts aglow


Other birds bring smiles and grins

But none can bring that sense of cheer

For none seem quite so close as friends

As ones in blue we hold so dear
