Poem collection Thankful Birds or Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping This morning before the sun came up, It wasn't even daylight I woke to birds chirping. Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping Thanking God for food Soon to be supplied. As I lay there dozing in prayer I also thanked God for my supply Doze, Doze, Doze, Dozing. Thanking God for food Soon to be supplied. The birds knew who to thank They started early chirping Before break of day. Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping Their thanks to God, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping This morning as the sun soon rose So I did after the break of day. At the window there I stood I saw them flitting and hopping Those chirping birds searching for their supply. Flitting and hopping, those thankful birds. As I sat down to my table spread I knew who to thank. I had started early Before the break of day Thanking, Thanking, Thanking Giving my thanks to God. This was the day the Lord had made Given to rejoice and be glad in. This was the day given for work or play Provided for rejoicing and thanking. As I sat out in the cool of the evening Again to my ears it came. Chirping. Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping. Before they nested down, birds Satisfied at the end of the day Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirping Their thanks to God. Chirp. Chirp. Chirp. Chirping. Soon after as nighttime fell As I retired to my bed provided It came to my mind again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Thank you, God for the birds Who remind me to thank You. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. God. Larry E. Whittington Originally written 6/19/2016
The poem explains itself. Do chirping birds irritate you? They may want you to listen to them more. Their talk may bring you a message to think about. God created you and me, as well as the birds. You and I communicate with the words we have learned. Birds communicate with their God-given bird language. We have to “read-between-the-lines” to understand what their message to us might be. It is easier to do this when we think about God first.

The comment is mainly for my benefit. I know someone has read it, and from what you write I will know what you thought of it.
I thought of something else I wanted to say, so I used the buttons to separate my thoughts as I wrote.
In your comment, let me know if you also can find what I have previously posted. This is my second post, so there should only be one other article. Thank you.
