THE BIRD NEST

From my window, I did look
and what did I see?
A magnolia tree so barren
it was amazing to me.

Where had this bird's nest been?
Out of this window, I look everyday
but, today it was so plain.
It was sitting on the branches in its' own way.

I could hardly wait to get the pic
of this amazing shot of nature's work.
How the mother had crafted her babies' cradle
from leaves, straw, fuzz and even dirt.

She had been busy being a caring mother
for her family, all in stride.
The mystery of God's creation
and she mastering her skills so wise.

Her family she had cared for
since the empty nest was shown.
In proof, that their wings were sprung
and out the nest they had flown.

The bird's nest can convey so much
when we look at more than the straw.
It truly has volumes of miracles
as the Bible is, to 'His Call'.

So, the next time you have the chance
to look at a bird's nest weave.
Just remember from hence it has come
it might enhance your faith to believe.

This bird's nest is original from mother nature's work outside our window.  The poem, I penned the day that I saw it as I looked out to behold the beauty and God gave me the words to pen them into this poem.

I am so amazed as I enjoy mother's nature work all around us.  With Spring in the air, I thought this would be a good day to express this particular post. 

I feel there are so many ways for coping, healing and our enjoyment.  It is the little things in life that can bridge those gaps that can surprise us in big ways.

Until next time.
God Bless.
