For the Little Birds ...
December 22, 2007
Some treats to make their Christmas merry ...
Just a few wholesome ingredients ...
Hung in our favorite spruce tree ...
Light fading fast ...
Enjoy, little friend!
*~*Feeding the Birds, by Rumer Godden*~*
Charity starts in the nest,
The human breast;
Like birds
It needs no words
But sings
When it is given;
Has wings
To lift
The spirit up,
By gift
Of this small water cup,
To heaven;
And warm and light as feathers the bread
Spared to see creation fed.
Love in a crumb is a mystery;
Bread is the Body of charity;
Little nerves of finch or tit
Fly down to feast and quicken it;
Robin, blackbird, sparrow, wren,
Feasted, quicken it in men.”
Winter Blessings to you all! May your night be warm and bright!
