Robin

Once upon a happy day
A robin sang a tune
Of flowers, trees, and ocean breeze
And warm midsummer’s moon.
As Robin sang, the day grew long
And noon turned into eve…
Clear notes fell last on shadowed grass
But ‘fore he took his leave
He turned to face the setting sun
And spread his wings out wide
To moon and sun, to past and to-come
To salt-kissed ocean starlight…
When bird took wing on humid air
The sand breathed in his song
And as he flew o’er waters blew
Waves smiled and sang along.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
