- So Quiet Small Angels -

I find myself whispering 

     On my bird feeders small winter bird are eating

     They enjoy present meal in peace

     So beautiful they are

     Their chest in yellow, orange and green

     Tiny, tiny feet and hungry stomach

     They do not think about Christmas rush

     A little song of the wind crossing the plains

     I just spend some time in silence listening

     to a song from my small angels

Hi Anne Lise. Angels come in many different forms and can bless us when we need them. I feel the peace that the little birds brought to you. Very lovely, my friend..... Robert.

Precious poem, Anne Lise. I, too, love to watch the birds. My husband makes suet cakes for them, which brings the woodpeckers, the snowy, the downy, the ladder-back, the nuthatch, even the redheaded. How priceless it is to watch them eat.

What a beauty you have painted dear friend. How sweetly you have weaved the feelings of the birds in your poem cum song. I had placed a Video on my You Tube channel 'The Secret Story of Mulberry birds' which tells the same story as you have woven in these few lines. If you ever have some time please watch this 20 M short V. film on birds & their songs with a small secret story. Hope you would also like my new poem cum song placed today Anne. Love and best wishes for a Merry Christmas.....Ravindra K Kapoor

Hello Anne-Lise, This is a most special and wonderful write. I really like the final two verses: "I just spend some time in silence listening to a song from my small angels." Its good to slow down and sometimes just concentrate on the most simple and wonderful things. I've watched little birds too ever so often. We humans are not always the ones with the answers. Mother Nature is much bigger than all of us. A "7"+++++ on this one and a FAV!! Best Wishes, Gary
