Mississippi Mockingbird
by lynn gipson Mississippi Mockingbird how you enthrall Who are you reaching with all of your calls? Sounding like all birds in the trees. Are you trying to taunt, or merely to please? Singing outside of my window so loudly Beautiful feathered designs you show proudly Sitting there chortling away your day What are you really trying to say? God gave you such mysterious talent Awesome noises keep others off balance No one knows what you're going to say next Are you calling your mate or just sending a text? When God created you, Mockingbird What did he really want to be heard? I guess that's only for your friends to know You really know how to put on a show Listening each morning to your repertoires I recall Mockingbird songs and stories "If that Mockingbird don't sing," Does not apply to your melodious ring Chirping, whistling, tweeting away God must have sent you to make my day I listen for each of your amazing sounds My heart waits gladly for another round. Mississippi Mockingbird, please don't leave You give such hope, you give me such peace That God designed such a bird as you Strengthens my faith and my spirit too. God thank you so much for this wondrous bird Peace and tranquility in my soul are stirred Your stupendous creations of every kind Sent to us always to keep you in mind.
