The Robin Wakes

The robin wakes to magnificent streaks of color across the sky,

But was too busy hunting worms to notice what was up high

 

She flies through emerald trees dancing in the slight breeze,

But dismissed it as nothing different than what she normally sees

 

She tends to her vibrant blue eggs as they get ready to hatch,

But fails to notice the importance of the batch

 

She sinks into the nest in the moonlight, just shutting her eyes,

But wait, what is way up in the sky?

 

Why, it is a shooting star, glistening and shimmering high above,

She smiles and is suddenly overwhelmed with God's love

 

In that moment, she realized that life had a meaning,

It was so much more than the hunting, working and cleaning,

 

It was meant to teach slowly through every new opportunity,

Until one day she and God will have complete unity.
