DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

A Robin

A robin sits
   fat and puffed eyeing the leaves
   scattered in the melting flow
   amidst the winter waning snow.
She pecks upon the ground
   until some savory sustenance is found,
   be it seed or bug or worm
   hidden life that exists after the storm.
Skipping quickly along the open earth
   she freely shares her space
   with dove, sparrow and tiny wren
   as squirrels pursue each other in a chase.
Lingering in the warmth 
   of the bright and glowing sun,
   she flies up into the holly tree
   and picks every berry that she sees.
Her breast so brownish red in spring
   is faded hues of white and umber
   giving into the  chill of winter slumber
   but determination lies within her wings.
She is the harbinger of seasons change
   despite the snow, the barrenness of the land
   her appearence is not strange
   only promises drawn by a greater hand.



Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds in the sky. They don't sow seed or harvest grain or gather crops into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth much more than they are?
