Cori Brown: A Christmas poem for, and from, the birds

It is Christmas day

And all through the sky,

The birds are flying

With hope in their eyes.

Feeders are hung

On the branches with care,

Suet and sunflower seeds

And peanuts so rare.

As the snow blows ‘round them

How grateful they are,

For their fluffy down feathers

It’s so darn cold! Br-r-r-r!!

As they gather ‘round the feeders

They thank their Master,

For all the human kindnesses

That keep them from disaster.

Good food, clean water

And warm shelter at night,

This is the Christmas spirit

That shines oh so bright.

All the birds thank you

For the love that you share,

On this very special day

And every day of the year!
