Robin's Song

Robin’s Song

©2015 Rolland G. Smith

I finally heard the Robin sing

And yet, the clime seems not like spring

It’s been a winter harsh and hard

And snow still covers half the yard.

Do you suppose it’s climate change

Denied by those with minds deranged?

The souls of science keep a track

And Congress says it has our back.

So worry not ‘bout dying bees

And ice-shelf melt and rising seas.

A snowy East and dry out West.

It is not true we’ve fouled our nest.

So as I hear the Robin sing

I hope her song will bring on spring,

We then can put our heads in sand

And rest assured our future's grand.
