Special Friends

We have a few birds that hang around our house and we enjoying 
watching them eat and hearing them sing...
Sometimes they flock in by the dozen and have a social gathering.

We see sparrows, finches, cardinals, woodpeckers, doves, jays
and such...
When they come, most come to share the news because they sit
and chatter and most don't eat that much.

Some sit on limbs high up in the trees and some sit on the walk...
And some wait for their turn to eat a bite, while others simply sit
and talk.

Some squabble, fight and flit about and some just sit and eat without
making a fuss...
And it's so much fun to watch them by the hour because they are special
friends that God has given to us.

We like these gatherings, my wife and I...
Because their presence brightens up our sky.
