Sing Thanks




Sing Thanks


Little creature on the tree,
Are you thinking thanks like me?

Sow and reap, cook and stow,
Washing dishes as I go,

Wondering when I see,
Feathered wonder on the tree,

If you remember, if you know 
Gratitude from long ago

For the good gifts God does bring?
Lift your throat and with me sing.

    A beautiful poem that perfectly captures the spirit of Thanksgiving. I love to hear birds singing, even the Mourning Doves. Have a wonderful day tomorrow & every day! xo

    It is nice to know that birds are thankful too! Smiles. (As we should be.)

    I LOVE this poem to the beautiful little feathered being. It makes me think of one of my fave quotes "A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." I so adore birdlings!

    I am grateful that some of us are keeping the world from utter destruction with their gratitude. And wonderful heart pulse rhythm.
