Overheard in an Orchard
















Said the robin to the sparrow
I would really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
rush around and worry so

Said the sparrow to the robin
Friend I think that it must be
They have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me.

This poem was on a plaque in my parents' bedroom. I read it quite frequently as a child. I think of it often when I see the birds at our feeder on our back deck. It's a truth worth remembering.

"LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR..." MATTHEW 6:26
