Little Birdie

Little Birdie in the rain, 
will you hide ‘til it starts to wane?

Little Birdie in the snow,
do you have a warm place to go?

Little Birdie in the heat,
do you know of a cool retreat?

Little Birdie in the cloud,
do you forever stand up proud?

Little Birdie in the sleet,
will you hide underneath a sheet?

Little Birdie in the wind,
will your untidy feathers mend?

Little Birdie whatever you do,
remain safe and attend to You!

Awe, a bird's life can be quite the challenge I see. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on birds with me. I liked it, well thought through, Linda. A fun read if you like birds like I do. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Hey Bill. Poor little birdies in this heat! I keep water for them in the shade, and the feeders full. The garden, however, suffers. Thanks for stopping by! :)

aww this is so cute Linda, sadly we are seeing a decline in the bird population. I know they are trying to increase the puffin colony here by having a 'decoy' on a small Island here called the calf of man. hugs Jan xx

I hate to see declines in species Jan. I wonder sometimes if we should leave detailed notes for future archaeologists. :) I love the little puffins! I hope preservation efforts are successful! Thanks for stopping by! :)
