Each day I awake at dawn
And there to greet me
Is the glorious sound,
The glorious sound of a robin.
Its melodic chant touches me,
And shows me how lucky,
How lucky I am.
Today was different,
As I know each day is different.
The robin was silent
Until it was awakened,
Awakened by a raucous noise,
The raucous call of a rook.
So today, like every day,
Will be different,
As it started out that way,
Even before I arose.

As that old song goes "Ev'ry body dreams about a new world in the mornin".
Good that you notice differences and life has not become just one more same old same old.
Thank you d a, noticing differences can be an absolute wonder as it is in jazz.
Good Morning G!
My greetings to you Andrew on this fine day.
I love the way you always seem to savour the moment and then share it with us all unselfishly ... thank you GF60.... Neville
Each moment is so special. Thank you for your words Neville, most kind.
Have a good 'rook day' then, instead of a 'robin day'! I dunno what sort of days they will be, but there ya go.....
Each day is wonderful as I managed to get up to be in them.

And a fine day it is. The blackbird is sining here although a robin whose chest is as red as they come - yup it's a wonderful world.
It surely is Michael, and it can be seen and heard in words, music and art.

Birdsong in the morning. What a great way to start your day. "Cherish every living moment" is made profound when we observe nature, or listen to it. Thanks for the uplifting start to my day. - Phil A.
great write my friend. We also have a robin nestling comfortably in our Hawthorn tree singing an early morning song. Super Thank you
