Carefree to Be
"Carefree to be,
As a bird that sings.
To go my own sweet way;
To live and love each day.
To reck not at all what may befall,
But to live and to love each day
Carefree as a bird."
Robert W. Service
Origins: Titmouse Nest
The background and inspiration for today's
'carefree as a bird that sings' art
is this birdcam image
of a Titmouse nest
from Sue Flynn.
There's a mama and two babies in this nest.
The sweet poem,
written by Robert W. Service in 1912,
gently landed in my lap
~softly as a feather~
as I scanned my landscape
looking to unleash the truths
created by this image
in my head.
Just think--
this poem
has been flying around
in the ether
for years
waiting for a place to land.
Wishing You a Carefree Day
Wishing you a carefree day,
to be as a bird that sings,
~In your own sweet way~
~to live and love as you wish~
carefree as a bird.
