Bird On a Telephone Wire
I saw a tiny little bird
light on a telephone wire.
He did not know the answer to life,
he just sang as if his soul was on fire.
The bird sat still for several moments,
then flew off in a new direction.
I watched him soar into the air,
and I asked myself this question.
If that little bird with no home or table,
or baggage with his needs in tow,
can sit on that wire and sing his songs-
Why can’t I sing when God’s blessings on me are bestowed?
All my needs are met today,
and some of my wants are too.
So I’ll sing a song of praise,
and rejoice in the Lord.
His care for me each morning is renewed.
