WATCH THE BIRDS
 

Fear of rejection,
fear of pain,
and once you've been rejected,
never try again.

Afraid to believe,
afraid to trust,
but, in order to live,
TRUST is a must.

A poor little bird,
ventures out to feed,
he may get eaten by a cat,
while looking for a seed.

That poor little bird,
so small and unafraid,
we can learn from him,
how priorities are made.

Afraid to try,
afraid to speak,
us, with all we have,
a bird, just a little beak.

If the bird sat and thought,
and heard tell of fear,
and saw pictures of cats,
and knew they were near,
he'd starve by tomorrow,
and stay glued to his nest,
he'd know he was hungry,
but safety is BEST !!!

Nature provides all that we need,
for us as well as our feathered friend,
for worry and fear go hand in hand,
and worry and fear will spell the end.

So, live by reaction,
as does the little bird,
he hunts when hungry,
for starving is absurd.
