Poem
Long ago a cowbird was raised in a white doves beautiful nest. But there became a time when together the chicks no longer fit. The cowbird came to a choice to either come out on the branch… Or he could simply kick someone out of his warm, homey nest. Now, he knew, if someone was thrown out, they probably wouldn’t live. Decisions, decisions: he knew his future would be changed by this. Mama white dove sensing his problem, had a talk with her little chick. You were put in my nest by God, but can still choose what you want to do. “I can never be God’s messenger of peace”, cried the little cowbird. “I’m not a true white Dove,” he cried… with tears streaming down his face. Mama dove intently listened… as her wings wrapped him in her warmth… She said, “It’s your choice in what you do, that will make you who you are.” See that crocodile below, sunning on the river bank below… He lives alone because he destroys anyone and everything, that comes his way. He’s mean, malicious, and hateful. He’s become what evil can truly be… His heart, intentions, and choices sent him to live alone in a dark, muddy cave… It was him who left God on one fateful day… not the other way around. By how he lived his life, his decisions, and his actions… he decided his own fate. The cowbird now realized there was a choice to be made on what he wanted to do. He decided he wanted to be a messenger of God in the beautiful, blue sky above… Than to live alone in a dark, muddy swamp cave, disgusting and evil to the bone. So he moved out upon the branch… Then later helped the others slowly to the sky. The moral here is easy… It’s not what you look like that makes you who you are. A good heart is all it takes… to be a beautiful peace messenger of God.
