The rough legged hawk – Spreading his wings;

Excited for challenges – This day will bring;

Ready to fly – Noble and strong;

Flight plan prepared – Nil can go wrong;

No fear of heights – Troubles this hawk;

He’s quite content – Standing on top;

Foreboding clouds – Mix with the fun;

Air turbulence – Bothers him none;

Why are Earth’s creatures – So very brave?;

Worries don’t seem to – Stand in their way;

No way I’d stand on top of this stick;

Fear would prevent me from doing it;

Sometimes I want – A wildlife brain;

Less fear, sadness or – Emotional pain;

These creatures live – One day at a time;

Future or past – Never troubles their mind;

Mindfulness masters – Living today;

Accepting life’s handouts – Joy, come what may.
