The robin’s scarlet breast

A color bright as fire

Takes to the autumn sky

In a blaze of desire

With wings of gentle grace

It flits from tree to tree

And sings a song so sweet

That fills my heart with glee

A symbol of new life And peaceful winter days

The robin brings us hope

With its chirping melody’s phrase

Oh little robin red breast

How happy thou must be

A bird among the best

Forever wild and free

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
