Busy rearing the young
the apple tree in its full glory
the Robin on blossom deep
foraging for its chicks
insects and grubs gathered in its beak
it glides onto the thorny hedge below
surveys for dangers to heed
assured darts off to a concealed nest
its hungry brood to feed
the Robin will tirelessly performs this duty
without fail everyday from dawn till dusk
to the day the young are fledged
driven by the perfume of immortal musk

I don't believe my dad ever met your dear old father?
His daily mantra was "if you can't say anything nice, say nothing."
I didn't heed the advice always. Had a knack of engaging my tongue before thinking.
With passing time I've understood the value of the wisdom offered.
