As morning mist begins to slowly rise
and darkness flees before dawn's rosy light,
a bright red sentinel with clear, sharp eyes
stands ever straight and tall, prepared to fight.
Courageously the guard will sound alarm
whenever hungry predators come near ~
protecting precious fledglings from all harm,
performing duties without dread or fear.
He acts with inborn wisdom and foresight ~
survival is all creatures' divine right.
