Birds Of Britain!

When I reflect on Nature's realm And all that God has made, To see the Lord still at the helm While beauty's here displayed, I look at tiny birds nearby, As I, in England live, To see them fly across the sky And think what joys they give. I cannot fly! I walk this Earth! Yet they ascend above, That proves to me that each has worth, Deserving of Man's love... That's why we feed the birds that roam Our gardens day-by-day, Or even little birds at home, Protected there O.K. I like the robins most of all, They cheer me up no end, To me, each seems a miracle, To me, each seems a friend... And freedom proves their blessing still, When Christmas comes, I'm glad... Because each robin brings a thrill, I've no need to feel sad... Denis Martindale May 2017. A poem based on the magnificent Stephen Gayford wildlife paintings.
