Every day we sit and watch the birds in our garden and it is absolutely awesome. We are constantly tending to the feeders and birdbaths, and each day we look forward to seeing a new clutch of babies being trained by their mothers (and sometimes their fathers as well) to fend for themselves. Today, Janice was watching me compose a few other poems, and she challenged me to write one about our birds. So I wrote Our Garden as a special request. I hope you enjoy it.
Our Garden
Our garden is a paradise
Where many birds are found
There’s food and drink abundant
And birdbaths all around
We sit and watch for hours
As parents feed their young
While all their sounds are chirped
And all their songs are sung
Hummingbirds and Sparrows
Finches, Doves and Crows
Orioles and Blue Jays
And others, Heaven knows
To simply sit and watch them
As cheerfully they play
Is such a special gift from God
A precious gift each day
