Hey, so I'm adding this really cool poem that I wrote that I think is inspirational and inspired! Hope you guys enjoy!


Come to Me
Once there was a little bird
Who could not leave the ground
He could not fly, he could not sing
He never made a sound
The ravens cawed their great guffaws
The sparrows were twittering
The little bird, he tried so hard
But fell and broke his wing
And so he left his little nest
To find the Master’s House
The one who made each leaf and tree
Each flow’r and bird and mouse
He finally found the Master’s door
And hopped into the room
He saw the Master sitting there
His smile split the gloom
“My child, what can I do for you?”
His voice was soft and kind.
The bird, he stopped, and took a breath
To speak his troubled mind.
“Master, I know that You love me
And made me who I am.
I cannot fly, I cannot sing,
Is that part of Your plan?
The ravens caw their great guffaws
Their laughter makes me moan
Roosters crow and I cry inside
You left me all alone!”
“My child,” He said, “I never left,
I stayed right by your side.
I was there as you made mistakes,
I was there when you cried.
I was there through all your pain,
You suffered next to me.
You could have left it all behind
If you had come to Me.”
And so he went, and left his pain.
And though he could not fly,
His heart was light, he did not care
What other birds would cry.
And since his heart was light and free
An outpour of song came
His melody was great and bright
And praised the Master’s name
