National Poetry Month, Day 14
I wrote this one in response to the prompt "You are deeply loved by God", for a contest on Allpoetry.com.
The Birder’s Thanksgiving
Chipping, White Throat, Fox and Vesper
Welcome Spring with sparrows’ nod.
Daffodils and Tulips whisper
You are deeply loved by God
When my loneliness reminds me
Of the wrong paths I have trod
He sends hummingbirds to find me:
I am deeply loved by God.
When my heart is sad and tired,
Robins call me from the sod
Morning birdsong frees the mired:
I am deeply loved by God.
White Throated Sparrow
Fox Sparrow
Vesper Sparrow
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
