Little messenger

Little wren

I have no clue when

You ended up in here

It’s so totally unclear

So how, when, why?

Did you walk in, or fly?

I didn’t see or hear a thing

Until I saw you clinging

But I was amused

To see the cat confused

Seeing you there

As a meal, to be fair

What were you here for?

Only way in is through the door

Maybe you’re a sign

From Him Divine

Crixus the cat alerted me

And then God inserted me

For your rescue

Or did you rescue me?

Were you sent for me to see

Everything’s okay?

That the tears I’ve cried

Over my roller coaster ride

Weren’t meant to harden

My heart, but to water the garden

“ be patient, just go slow

And watch your garden grow.”

And what a thrill

That my cat didn’t kill

You

I was so close to you

It’s as if I knew

As I carried you

That you were so much more

Than a little wren at an open door

And as I looked into your eye

I watched you fly

Into the tree, and then you were gone

But not before you put a song

In my soul and mind and heart

“Not the end, just the start

So just stay the course

You have such a force -

A love that is greater than.”

All that from a little Wren.
