From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree.<BR /><DIV>
And it never rested until it found one.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Then it began to sing more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.</DIV>
And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn.
But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony<BR /><DIV>
to out-sing the lark and the nightingale.</DIV>
The thornbird pays its life for that one song
and the whole world stills to listen<BR /><DIV>
and God, in His heaven ~ smiles.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain.</DIV>
Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come.<BR /><DIV>
But when we press the thorn to our breast</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071021004848AAAk7Mj">Are these birds real?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071021004848AAAk7Mj">a Thornbird is a MYTHICAL bird that searches for thorn trees from the day it is hatched.
