Snow Bound
A small brown Sparrow is perched above my door.
Snow is falling, seem's like more and more.
She perches there , warding off the cold.
"Oh" how can old man winter be so bold?
The wind is whipping around the snow,
But she isn't worried, as she has no where to go.
Out to the feeder , she does fly,
Out into the wind, out into the snow,
And up into the sky.
She'll be there for a moment,not very long at all.
They fly in and out, and up and down.
Some at the feeder, some on the ground.
Snow flakes stick to the branches of the tree's.
Where they seem to like to perch.
There little bodies warmed by mother nature.
Feathers thick and soft, protects them from
Old man winters wrath.
They sing songs, and talk to each other.
It's funny that animals have learned to
Adapt with man, but we haven't learned to adapt
with the animals.
It's a beautiful thing I see.
It's a gift from GOD to me.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
