A very wise bird

Willem Bernardus Tijssen

An owl is a very wise bird.
At night it is his oehoe-sound
that will be heard.
His eyes go round in the darkness
brightly blinking, because it is always
under the moon light thinking.
It is his wisdom on his tree-branche,
that warns the world from a distance.
No way to frighten this big grey bird.
You will be away, when you have
his oehoe-sound heard.

Whether it is to catch a mouse
or other food for thought; it is
its existence that remains as
one of the wisest birds under
the sky of our caring God.
