In the hush of evening light
My garden fills with birds,
I watch within the reverie,
My heart is full of words.

So I whisper softly to them,
Welcome to my place,
Fill yourselves with all you need,
Whatever suits your taste.

Today...I filled the bird bath
For you to flit right in,
Splash about, dance to your tune
Refresh your pretty wings.

I love to see you play
And find a place to rest,
I hope you find a perfect branch
To build a cosy nest.

I too, have a loving heart
Who gazes down on me,
He loves to dress His garden
To give me all I need.

He fills my day with sunshine,
A welcome to His world,
Opens wide His Hand with gifts,
His beauty to unfurl.

He gently holds the gate
So I am safe to play,
Here within His peaceful garden
I will forever stay.
