Vultures, like ALL creatures great and small (and the oak tree I might add) have a purpose under God's creation as do we all. Creation/nature is a manifestation of God's love. And so is this poem!

If you don't mind me saying, Sara, everyone's purpose is to love God as he loves us. None of us would be here without him and I believe we should acknowledge that fact every now and again. And writing poetry is act of love which I'm sure he approves of! God bless, Terrell

Yes, Paul, we all have a purpose even sometimes I wonder what my purpose is. Thank you for your kind review of my work. Sara

They seem to be enjoying living there. LOL..There is food around for them to dine when someone kills an animal in the road. Your visits add a new dimension. Sara
