Are There Birds In Heaven

I was sitting on the steps ;Taking s break from cutting the grass; I spied a bird in flight, he dove down in front of me; He landed began walking, walking on the grass heading toward the tree,; All this right in front of me! He was singing, chirping; He was speaking, talking; He was bobbing his head up and down; While eating the bugs off the ground; And I thought to myself I said; Lord are there birds in heaven! And if there are what do you need them for! Lord are there birds up in heaven; Robins, sparrows, crows; Many, many other kinds of birds that of which I didn't know; I was walking down the sidewalk in the park It was a late spring evening just before dark I saw an oriole in the trees Seems like he was calling me He began walking, walking on the grass heading toward the tree He was singing, chirping! He was speaking, talking; He was bobbing his head up and down Eating the bugs off of the ground Oh! Peteinon , Peteinon Oh, Orneon, Orneon Orneon, oph Peteion, Orneon And I thought to myself, I said Lord are there birds up in heaven And if there are what do you need them for Lord are there birds up in heaven Robins, sparrows and crows Many, many more do many others that of which I don' t know Are there birds in heaven June 3 2012
