LIFT
Lofty
Lionhearted lark of light wing,
Where lies the joy with which you sing?
Air-filled bird perched on God’s finger,
Heaven’s cloud is where you linger;
Loyal liege of lofty legend,
Why place your faith in God and Heaven?
Squalls, snowfalls, frost and thunder harsh,
God keeps you, from meadow to marsh.
Live not before or after today,
Soar the heavens in which you stay;
Eat from the hand of our Provider,
Want for nothing, rise still higher.

Very nice Jerry, Glad I found this sight.
Hello Maven and HB- Sorry that I missed your comments a few weeks back. I find our feathered friends to be so very spiritual and reminders to look always to the heavens for solutions. Thanks for your visits and kind words. Cheers.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you sweet people who visit my Hubs. Health and prosperity to you all in Lucky '11. "Snickers all around, at the Candy Bar". Cheers.
