Debra L Brown Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

A Tiny Messenger

I saw a little Cardinal                                                                                            
 setting in a tree.
 I said to that little red bird
 "Why have you come to me?"
 He flew a little closer
 and let out a great big "chirp"!
 I'm a messenger sent from heaven
 and from those who have passed on.
 I hope this brings you blessings
 and great peace in your heart
 because,God heard your grieving prayer
 and your loved one is at rest.
 At that very moment
 my heart was at peace.
 Because, God sent this little bird 
 in my time of need.
 Now if you see a Cardinal
 listen closely to his song.
 It might be the answer to your prayer
 sent by the Lord above.

Anil Deo November 21, 2021 at 6:31 PM Beautiful. The MIND/thoughts take us toward peace, or all the humans' psychological maladies. Romans 12, 1-2 is big on "renewing" our minds. Since childhood, animals spoke to us, and their names were among our earliest words, even "bow-wow." shalom, shalom, Thanx Debra L Brown November 26, 2021 at 3:59 PM Thank you Anil, I'm so happy you enjoyed the poem. Blessings ~ Debra

Judy Ball October 31, 2021 at 10:05 AM Oh I do love birds and Cardinals are especially pretty. Love this picture and there is an old saying that when a cardinal visits you it's a message that someone you miss who has passed on is fine and watching you. Good stuff. God Bless, JB Debra L Brown November 1, 2021 at 1:08 PM Thank you, for your kind words. I've heard that old saying as well. I think that's why I wrote this poem for my Daughter-in-law. So she may find some comfort when she sees a Cardinal. Many Blessings! Debbie

Deb M October 24, 2021 at 9:31 AM Debra this is the sweetest poem. Debx Debra L Brown October 24, 2021 at 7:03 PM Hi! Deb, Thank you, for the kind words. Best Wishes ~ Debbie

Gershon Wolf October 23, 2021 at 7:27 PM Gosh. This is so sweet, and so insightful at the same time. I believe that everything, everyone, and every creature that comes our way is a messenger from the Almighty. Maybe that sounds nuts, but if every word of the Bible comes from Him, and He created everything for Man's benefit --- why not?! ~ Faithful, and perhaps a bit Foolish, gw Debra L Brown October 23, 2021 at 8:38 PM Hi! Gershon, I agree with you. I believe God uses anything and everything to accomplish His purpose. There is an old folklore saying that "When a cardinal appears in your yard, it's a visitor from heaven". "With God all thing are possible". Thank You, G~ Your words have been a Blessing -Debbie
