IN TUNE....

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Jun 27, 2020 

"I feel in tune with beautiful nature, 
together with the birds, and the bees,
I'm in harmony with the melodious blackbird,
I see what the Orangutan sees,
I swim with the fish in the Ocean,
I understand when the dolphin sings.
I breathe in the air all around me,
I'm amazed at Earths wonderful things.
I run with the Cheatahs in Africa,
feel the scorching sun on the Serengeti Plain,
I cry for the animals near extinction,
my heart bleeds as I sense their pain.
The Polar bears on the fast melting ice floes,
are they aware of the prophecy of doom?
I really do despair for their future,
I can't shift this nausea of gloom.
...But happily, once again my heart is lifted,
as I watch a young Robin being fed,
that little bird is truly amazing....as it's nest box is fixed to my shed!"
