Birds Of Britain! Poem by Denis Martindale

When I reflect on Nature's realm
And all that God has made,
To see the Lord still at the helm
While beauty's here displayed,
I look at tiny birds nearby,
As I, in England live,
To see them fly across the sky
And think what joys they give.

I cannot fly! I walk this Earth!
Yet they ascend above,
That proves to me that each has worth,
Deserving of Man's love...
That's why we feed the birds that roam
Our gardens day-by-day,
Or even little birds at home,
Protected there O.K.

I like the robins most of all,
They cheer me up no end,
To me, each seems a miracle,
To me, each seems a friend...
And freedom proves their blessing still,
When Christmas comes, I'm glad...
Because each robin brings a thrill,
I've no need to feel sad...
