Our Sweet Mockingbird
She flies in the bright, blue sky,
While weaving through the alabaster clouds, she
Harmonizes a sweet melody and
Descends in the most graceful manner.
She is beautiful, more gorgeous than her
Counterpart, the blue jay. He taunts us--
And butchers every tune he attempts to carry.
His appeal is lacking, no wonder it’s not a sin.
But to kill our sweet Mockingbird? Oh, no one
Would dare, for it is an unforgiving offence.
Her hymn echoes throughout Maycomb--
No one ever yearns for her to cease.
A symbol of Aves perfection, a bird so
Sacred to our hearts--eternally
Singing a heartfelt tune, even in times
Of grief and sorrow.
