Robin Red Breast

ROBIN RED BREAST

Robin red breast knows just when…

every springtime to return -

when the earth’s temperatures warm

and earthworms are born,

for robins eat worms

every morn -

that’s just norm.

Robin red-breast knows just when…

their rounded nest to form

where safe from springtime storms –

a baby dorm –

with twigs adorned

and mud walls worn.

From robins we learn.

Robin red-breast knows just when…

to sit like a hen and tend

their little blue eggs, continually fend

safe from windy storms

in their twig-nest den.

Even when the wind bends

they will stay put and tend.

Robin red-breast knows just when…

their growing young ones will learn

from their parents being stern.

They teach how to fetch worms

and sing songs in the morn.

Young ones soon fly away from home

then never again to return.

Robin red breast knows just when…

to awaken us every morn

for the early bird gets the worm.

Wherever it is you may roam,

if forlorn or reason to mourn -

robins will weather the storm.

From robin red-breast we learn.

Robin red breast knows just when…

every springtime to return

for we all have much to learn.

A song they will send

to men and women.

For robins we yearn

for their quick return.

How welcome it is to hear the birds

when in the spring their trill can be heard.

How welcome it is to see the robins

searching for their dinner, their heads bobbing.

How unwelcome is Christ the Savior

quite often in hearts of men and women.

Despite bestowing us all with loving favor

He is rejected by His greatest creation.

We are God the Father’s greatest creation

yet often we turn away in rejection

for we seek our own selfish will

instead of seeking God’s perfect will.

It’s been so from the beginning of time

for we all seek to have a good time

when we could be having the best time

if only we’d seek God all of the time.

…the birds make their nests..

Psalm 104:17

Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests,

but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.

Matthew 8:20
