Scarecrow Knows

Scarecrow knows

that birds of a feather flock together

And the early bird gets the worm

Scarecrow knows 

all the chatter from the field 

yet never utters a word

Scarecrow knows

the importance of comfort 

and that denim is always in fashion

Scarecrow knows

good things come to those who wait

because patience is a virtue

Scarecrow knows 

true beauty is born of sweat and tears

that toil can garnish strength and fortitude

Scarecrow knows

to be soft and pliable 

yet sturdy and steadfast to weather life's storms

Scarecrow knows

the importance of duty, even if it's

a shoulder to rest on when fatigue sets in

Scarecrow knows 

to soak up the view from lofty places

a perspective often missed by others

Scarecrow knows

tattered edges, frayed pieces, and patches

tell stories that many will never know

But Scarecrow knows
