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.

  6. 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!
