A Fond Farewell


 I have watched you gather, robins,
For your meeting of the clan;
To chirp a loud approval
Of this season's travel plan.

Just keep in mind, you wanderers,
As you dine here one last time,
How we waited your arrival,
From that warm and sunny clime!

It is sad to bid you God-speed
As you leave our lawn today,
But chilling North winds warn us
That you must be on your way.

So, 'til Spring, safe journey, robins!
For it's comforting to know
You'll sing praise to your Creator -
No matter where you go.
