Year of the Fire Rooster/Bird
Ever awake among the
slumbering
Lively harbinger of whatever
awaits
Each day no task too daunting
For just as the sun rises
You’re always ready for any
occasion
Reliable, precise, and to the
point
No poison too toxic nor
lethal
For that bright display which
cheers us on
O great Fire Bird who arises
from ashes
To transport us beyond our
limits
In shining iridescence to
meet our purpose
We welcome your daily summons
Into the fray at day’s break
