Look for the owl

“I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.” NIV Psalms 106: 2

I am an owl that screeches loud; my neck spins round and round
I do not need a light at night; I see and hear each sound
No evil can escape my eyes, for I am very wise.
I see all things that live on earth; I see the one that dies.

And when a varmint crawls on earth, my vision starts to shine.
And when a varmint is exposed, I quickly pounce and dine
To cleanse the earth of varmints, I make my quick kill with glee
For I’m an owl, at night I prowl, there’s no escape from me.

And I’m three letters in a word, to make man wise like me
'Tis knowledge that builds wisdom, which helps a blind man to see
To dine on truth with wisdom with every thought that waits
And with keen eyes sees through dark lies, of envy, greed and hate.

So when you walk, night or day, beware, hidden devil’s play
Learn from the owl, catching prey; take knowledge with you, today.
Purge the earth of darkened evil, shine God’s light everywhere
And when you hear an owl at night, be thankful he is there.

Look for the owl.

(smiles) Sooooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love owls, for they are the hunters of wisdom and knowledge and will always settle in solace to observe His knowledge on both the light and dark side of the moon! (big hugggsssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful writing! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!
