Days of Cold and Gray

Days that are cold and gray
  bid me stay in the house
  warm, safe and tucked away.
From my window i watch
  creatures foraging for food
  guarding each storage notch.
Life is simple for some
  but still hard and demanding
  fighting for every crumb.
They play their chase me games
  then quarrel over food
  greeting the morning unashamed.
Little creatures of the wood
  sing and play despite the cold
  praising God for life as it unfolds.

DMB, That truly said so much and has a tremendous message. Little is only needed when we have God's love. Jim Horn
