Two Birds, a male and female met at last;
They found the tree on which to build their nest;
But soon, their little ones came rather fast;
The Birds hadn’t time for love-making or rest!

The Wind blew strongly; scorching was the Sun;
The Rain fell heavily upon their nest;
Rearing the young ones was both strain and fun;
Even a Snake came to their nest as guest!

But God helped them to find the worms for food;
And Spring replaced the Winter’s freezing cold;
The Birds labored all life as best as could;
Their young ones turned adults while they grew old!

When Death came like a robber in the night,
Both Birds never offered the slightest fight!
