Courtesy Pattern : CP43 - Bits the Bluebird

I love me some Bob Marley.
And many times when I hook, I do listen to songs - which usually means, I don't get much done because I am too busy singing along ... and not busy enough counting my place. *grin*

But in the middle of working on another project, I was listening to Bob Marley's Three Little Birds and became inspired ...

Rise up this mornin'

Smiled with the risin' sun

Three little birds

Pitch by my doorstep

Singin' sweet songs

Of melodies pure and true

Saying', (this is my message to you)

I hope you enjoy - the first little bird "Bits the Bluebird"
