A little bird poured out his soul in songNot knowing its melody sweet and strong ...
Reached a child who was ill, making him smile ...
Or that an old man who listened awhile ...
Was cheered, resolving to fight life anew ...
Just as the bird lifted his wings and flew ...
He perched on a bough some distance away ...
So unaware of hope he gave that day ...
God's messengers of song play a big part ...
In aiding young and old to take new heart.
Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteThe bird is so beautiful. Love the colors! Birds do bring happiness to us. I do love to hear those birds. I always wonder what are they talking about?
HI MARGIE-
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture with such vibrant colors. Love it. And oh yes, the bird song comforts me - inspires me - reminds me of simple blessings and that regardless of wars on distant shores or terror in big cities in a moment I can be comforted and know that I am also surrounded by beauty and freedom.
Love and appreciation
Gail
peace.....
There is inspiration all around us every day everywhere isn't there? This post reminds me that a bird or a flower or even a blade of grass is part of nature and part of life.
ReplyDeletei love this beautifulpoem......
ReplyDeleteits wonderful. birds are God's messengers.
:)hugsss

This is so beautiful. :) In one of my favorite books, Walk Two Moons (I read it to my students every year), the main character has a "singing tree". It's filled with birds who sing and bring her comfort in the saddest moment of her young life. I believe that God does send those little messages to us when we need them. :)

Hey Margie, this is beautiful. Today I was listening to a bird, but couldn't find what type of bird was doing the singing! (Particularly since it's cold and chily here.)

ReplyDeleteBirds are God's messenger...that's why they not only look beautiful but also speak beautifully.I feel amazingly at peace whenever i visit you Margie.
ReplyDeletehi Margie!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful, and so true... whether the the little bird who sings his song or the pen that writes words spoken from the heart, it is the song that flows through us that makes all the difference...

Such an inspiration, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the song of a bird in the morning it could make anyone smile and feel grateful, no matter the circumstances... but of course you have to listen to it, not only hear it...
Lovely Margie! :)
My Yesterday's interpretation say a lot of how good a poem can be if it can lead to it. So you must be a real poet!
Birdsong adds joy to all our lives.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured that in your sweet poem.
There is nothing more uplifting than the sweet sound of a bird singing. Lovely words, thanks.
ReplyDeleteyour song as precious too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the most beautiful bird? It makes me want to go bird watching right now.
When I hear the sweet singing birds I feel like they are singing just to me and that makes me so happy.
Thanks for your comment, my friend.
