As a bird sings its beautiful song...as I've been been busy all morning...as I sit here, in early afternoon drinking my first cup of coffee...as I catch up on the awful news...the bird sings whilst many grieve...joy and sorrow, sing together

twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody bad news on t.v. floods are carried away Dear children swept like dust twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody that once filled the camp there was dancing and crafts and a chain of hands twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody of the waters, beautifully sunned then in one catastrophic strophe a beast arises, releases frenzy twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody of campers, one minute sleeping, tethered to their beds then out of their heads with fear twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody of birds in the calm of afternoon a cup of overflowing caffeine pleasantry and dreams dreadful nightmares hold our loved ones close we must. we live. we cry. twoo twoo twoo twee twee twee O the cheerful melody O the cheerful melody O the cheerful m e l O d y O!

This is so heartwarming. The birds are like that. They sing to us, and we can take hope even admist trouble around us. <3

We are comforted by the lovely melody and sometimes haunted by it as well, though we can’t absorb each suffering, for a while we cry with those who are suffering. Hugs

Oh Kim, isn't it horrible? Oh my Lord, so devastating. Yes we hold them tightly in our prayers. I dreamt of them all night, in tears in sleep. What a beautiful deception, the song of cheerful song of the birds and yet, the children and those who now dwell in Paradise would tell us "Oh, the songs are still being sung, and the birds here are more cheerful than the birds in the woods, it is well with our souls!" We need to try desperately to focus on heaven, and share the view <3 Hugs to you dear Kim<3
