In the forest, where the trees grow tall,
And the leaves whisper secrets to all,
Lives a wise old owl, perched high above,
Watching the world with eyes full of love.

The creatures of the forest come to him,
Seeking advice, as the light grows dim,
He listens and nods, with wisdom to share,
For the owl knows that life isn't always fair.

He teaches them kindness, patience, and grace,
And reminds them that each has a place,
In the great circle of life, where we all play a part,
The wise old owl, with a loving heart.
