Bird Talk

October 1, 2019 By Doris Stensland

As birds are starting to head south, this reminds us of a 2013 writing by Doris: “Bird Talk”.

        BIRD TALK

“I belong to the sky;  God gave me wings.
Although I understand neither the mystery of flight
     nor the fact of gravity,
     I travel the highways in the sky.
My wings have strength;
Each year they propel me thousands of miles
    to southern climes.
I belong to the sky;
Every morning I spread my wings
    and head heavenward.”

Mr. Bird, now listen to me.  I am earthbound.
God gave you wings,
But He gave me a Promise
    in His Book
that one day I too will head heavenward.
There I’ll meet my Lord, my Savior and friend
   In the air,
But I’ll be flying without wings.

      by Doris Stensland, written September, 2013
