LESSONS FROM NATURE.. THE ROBIN AND THE CROW (both cute extra short stories) and more!

 Okay folks, you all know I am looking forward to spring.. (aka, SPRING WEATHER, aka, later spring) .. But, we are making it day at a time... how about you ? It seems like it's been a lot of sadness in loved ones and friends lives this winter already.. And we still have a ways to go! SO, lots and lots of prayers for each of them. 

I am still thinking of the gifts for "pay it forward" don't have a clue yet, but it will come to me hopefully and I hope and pray that they like and enjoy whatever.. God bless each of you! 

The Robin And The Crow

A robin and a crow were perched upon a fence,

an unlikely combination but they seemed to be good friends.
Standing in the mid-day sun each on a separate picket,
basking in it's rays while staring at a cricket.
The crow looked very hungry the 

robin seemed content,
so he flapped his shiny wings and to the ground he went.
The cricket saw him coming and jumped away in a flash,
searching for some camouflage in an open field of grass.
The crow was disappointed outsmarted once again,
so he flew back to his perch and asked his feathered friend.

"Have you had your dinner tell me would you mind"
"I wondered if you'd share with me, could you be so kind?"
The robin fanned his wings and said "come follow me"
To his nest they flew at the top of an old oak tree.
Together they shared a feast the robin caught that day,
then they fell asleep passing the time away.
There's a lesson to be learned from the robin and the crow,
and carry this knowledge with you where ever you may go.
Friendship is a special thing it's always nice to share,
it shows the good inside of you so people know you care.

Lessons From Nature

I watch the waves crash in, breaking on the shore

All their anger dispensed on the oceans floor

I look at the sky so blue, sun shining so bright

Spreading heat and happiness with its blinding light

Long blades of grass swaying in the gentle breeze

Dancing in rhythm with so much ease

Look up at the trees hearing the singing of the birds

Happily chirping singing at ease without words

Sitting here holding my knees to my chest

Watching and hearing nature at it s best

I ponder how Nature could get it so right

When we have let Natures lessons get so out of sight

We hold our anger, let our happiness slip away

Making our survival a struggle each and every day

We have forgotten the little things that mean so much

Like the laughter, the freedom, and someone's loving touch

If only I could make people stop, watch and listen to Natures tale

We could all sit back happily and our world would not be so frail

In each others existence in harmony we could all survive

I'm sure like the sun, wind, tree, and birds our lives we could revive

If only we let nature take its course in each and every one of us each day and night

As I sit and ponder how Nature got it so right and we lost all sight.
