Nothing stays the same. We are
always learning new things.
What do we learn as we grow
and change?

On Our Own Time Line
When you attempt to learn a new thing,
And I attempt to learn it too.
An event that is very important,
I won’t learn the same way as you.
Reading, writing, or riding a bike,
Oh, so fine.
We’ll all get there,
But on our own time line.

Six small bluebirds in the treetop.

Was there something wrong?

Burst into a song.

To the perfect song for me to sing.

time.
Oh, what joy my song will bring.”
