I have had this poem for several weeks and tried to figure out how I might use it on my website. Then one day a dear friend told of seeing a bright red male cardinal sitting on her fencepost during her "quiet time" with the Father. I quickly found this background and decided to use "Sweet Hour of Prayer" as the background music. Now every time I see a cardinal in my yard I think of my friend Doede and our Heavenly Father who has given us so many blessings.

BIRDS
In my cottage garden
I'm content to sit, aware,
Of all the birds in flight,
Free spirits of the air.
They soar so gracefully
And sing amid the trees:
I watch them with delight,
Dipping on a gentle breeze.
If I could be a bird,
A free spirit flying high,
I'd soar above the clouds,
And touch the bright blue sky.
For now I'm just content
To sit and visualise:
As a pair of velvet wings
Unfold before my eyes.
Free spirits of the sky,
Guided by God's hand,
I marvel at your faith
As you fly above His land.
