Breakfast

Breakfast

In the newness of the early morning as the sun peeks through
something yummy for breakfast is waiting for the garden crew.
Just who is the garden crew?
Let's take a minute to view.

A morning dew
covers like glue
inviting winged creatures to sip
an early morning refreshment.

Yes, their breakfast awaits
though not served on a plate
being sought after
by garden creatures.

Happy bees hum
in golden blossoms
in everyone's vegetable garden.
Gardeners gratefully welcome.

Do take a minute to listen
to their harmonious drone
as they sip from a cup of yellow pollen
a breakfast filled with good-for-you nutrition.

A just-hatched butterfly seeks morning nourishment
from purple cone flowers absent of scent
then off to the garden phlox, which he seems to like best,
before visiting the butterfly bush for breakfast.

Watch him float and glide
as on the breeze he rides
satisfying his hunger
on his morning garden tour.

A hummingbird dines
on red trumpet vine
where ants share a feast
every day of the week.

If you're wearing a red or pink shirt,
beware:  those hummingbirds might flirt
thinking you're the prettiest flower
of all that grows in your bower.

Mama and papa wren
busily attend
their brood of hungry beaks
as white grubs they seek.

Hear their "me, me, me"
sounding quite greedy
as mama and papa take turns
feeding their offspring this morn.

While robins seek earthworms
to feed starving newborns
a protein breakfast
so they will grow fast.

Do watch from a distance
for robins have an instinct
to protect their young
from potential harm.

Other birds dine
on seeds they find,
heard singing a happy song of praise
to the Creator of all their days.

These and many more
seek breakfast outdoors
alfresco,
perfecto.

Do take time to watch this muse (wonder)
as a motion picture is produced
every morning as breakfast is found
around the world, in every town.

In this world of uncertainty,
God shows us examples of His faithfulness
so that we will have a guarantee,
an assurance, to not worry – but to trust.

Do not worry about tomorrow.
Matthew 6:34
