Cardinal


You have been a blessing to me,
your scarlet feathers against white.
I have watched you from the window
clutching a branch until the blizzard's wind
swept you away for the night to I don't know where.
But, you faithfully return knowing that I will put out seed,
and not knowing, it is my survival at hand, too

  1. Loving sentiment for the birds in our lives. Sometimes, I think that getting through our tough winters is all because of our feathered and faithful friends. I will stand at the window, watching them 'carry on.'
    Time for me to do the same.

  4. I love cardinals. We don't have them here. But when I get to NYS each Spring, they and the robins are there to greet me. Watching birds gives me so many smiles!

  5. Wonderful sentiment. I can't get enough of red cardinals, probably because we don't have them here. I even bought a fused glass night light made to look like a bare winter tree with a cardinal on the branch. There is something so special about them.

  7. We don't have these beauties in my neck of the woods. I collect "faux" cardinals. Love the color:)
