The Apprentice. A Gulls Tale Poem by Res John Burman

I am young but I am learning
Learning how to make my way
How to make my living
And getting better day by day.

Sometimes hungry, sometimes sated
Sometimes hungry once again
And yes! I'm sometimes raucous
And sometimes I'm a pain!

On land I am a scavenger
Some say a 'flying rat'
But I swim upon God's Ocean
Now what do you think of that?

I am young but I am learning
To be accepting of all things
And I can soar just like an angel
With God's wind beneath my wings!
