Temperance stands by the river's edge
A symbol of balance, a guiding pledge
She represents finding harmony within
A guide to those who seek to begin

But even she must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while Temperance brings peace and calm
The red bird shows us paths yet to be balm

So let us heed both, side by side
Temperance's balance and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of stillness and motion
We'll find a path that's true and smooth, nototion

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with Temperance and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might
