6. The Sixth Bluebird’s Song
Six small bluebirds in the treetop.
Five began to sing.
One small bluebird didn’t join in,
Her head under her wing.
How the bluebird parents worried!
Was there something wrong?
Then the sixth bird gave a wink and
Burst into a song.
“I just had to think, try to make a link
To the perfect song for me to sing.
I will make a chime in my own good time.
Oh, what joy my song will bring.”
