The Little Lesson


The road goes on but never stops Children play and sing along to melodies In the glistening paved road A little bird sings along with spirit Until his soul could sing no more Little did it know that life is filled with surprises For his petite heart skip a beat of life. Its minuscule body fell upon the ground, And the children starred at the gloomy sight Little did their innocent minds know that death was present They picked up the “dormant” creature And prayed for a miracle to awaken it From dawn to dusk they observed it But not sign of life ceased to exist From that day on till forever They learned that… Life is filled with surprises and it takes the living away just as fast As it bring s it to life One thing that is certain The road goes on but never stops.
