SHARING AN OLD FAVORITE WHILE GETTING A POST TOGETHER.

An old photo of a Carolina Wren.  They have been coming back to the garden but I haven't got a decent photo of one yet.  Such a sweet little bird with a mighty song.
When sad she brings the thunder
And her tears they bring the rain.
When ill she feeds a poison
To us all to fell her pain.
Her smiles they bring the sunshine,
And the laughter and the wind,
And the birds they go on singing,
And the world is whole again.
"Smile sweet Sunday", 
Wednesday whispered in her ear.
"The birds need your love
So that they can lift their wings."

A sweet poem and each time, I come across one that speaks to me it is always a gift.

It has been a busy time celebrating hubby's birthday, getting together with family and old friends, ones not seen that often but the kind of friends that it feels like yesterday since the last meeting.  Another gift.

Have a great day everyone, and thanks for stopping by.

  4. Oh what a sweet picture! I absolutely love the tiny wrens. They are fierce and powerful! I was attacked by one once when I got too close to her nest. I wish we had more around here, I hardly ever see any. That makes me love your picture even more! Please wish your husband a very Happy Birthday from me! I love your Denise purple tulip! The poem is so lovely and unusual, and I have read it twice. The person it is referring to may be nature?

    1. Hi Ginny, I didn't realize that they were that fierce but I suppose when worrying about their nest, a parent would. I don't get to see them that often but its a joy when I do. Thank you for your birthday greetings to Gregg, he smiled when I gave them to him. Happy you liked the purple tulip and the poem too. Yes, I think they are referring to nature.

  6. Love the wren. I have one that occasionally skips across the patio never to be seen again for several weeks. I call him my occasional visitor.

  9. Hi Denise,
    Funny enough I was on Osprey duty this afternoon and I took an image of a Wren, {not a big difference with ours and the Carolina } unfortunately it was about 20 metres away so not sure yet as to the outcome.
    Love the poem.
    All the best, John
