My Friend, the Robin

In the stillness of morning, for a moment, I am sure. 

I hear the robin doing her noble work.

Before the thrush joins her chorus, the two of us commune.

I share my coffe with her, more bitter than yesterday,

And she declares herself to me.

"A new dawn is coming and I am here to see it through."

I believe her; she's never been wrong before.

The sun will beat down and the world will become big once again,

But for now, I sit here with my friend, the robin.

We are content in the simple act of waking.

It may not always be, but today,

She begins her song, and I follow suit:

"A new dawn is coming, and I am here to see it through."
