Oh, little creature of the sky
Perched there upon a window’s ledge
You could have rested anywhere
Upon a fence or hemlock hedge

But you have chosen to alight
Close to this old observant eye
For you have messages from God
On how to live and how to die

You soar to winters feeding place
Until the season calls you home
And never from your nesting chores
Do you have tendencies to roam

Before the dawn you sing your hymn
So all of nature knows your worth
Then rest unnoticed ‘neath a bush
When it is time to leave this earth

Oh, little creature of the sky
Somehow you knew that I was ill
And came obligingly to rest
Beside me on my window sill

Creatures know...
and you hold
their faith.

LovelyLizzyLady~
In blessings of winged flight
may the tiny creature sing you
through the night~

YOU are such an amazing lady ...~
I love you~

Blessed little creature to find a kindred soul in need. Love, Joyce
