Inspiring Life Poems

I saw a child watching some birds today.
As they glided by
In their bright array,
Colors caught his eye
Gazed he, as they stopped to play
A while there, then flew fast away.

I saw a child watching some birds today.
And I strolled on by
With a "What Care I" attitude;
Thinking my own thoughts,
Pampering my own little mood.

Then, I stopped--and thought: "How pretty be they!"
Yet, I'd oft' passed such scenes without one word to say;
Failing to notice--entangled in thought--
All nature's wonders; things God hath wrought;
The beautiful things which, around us each day,
Live their own lives in their own little way.
I saw a child watching some birds today.

Said the sparrow to the robin, 'Friend I think that it must be
That they have no heavenly Father, such as cares for you and me.'

2)THE SPARROW by Gene Griffin
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Matthew 10:29.

See the little bird
Spoken of in God's Word?
The most common of birds is he;
But he has a special message for you and me.

The cardinal, the blue bird, the chickadee all share
A noble beauty beyond compare.
Of all birds the sparrow is not the most fair,
Yet God uses him as an illustration of His care.

But God has chosen the most common of birds to bear -
A message to cheer us in our day of care.
God loves the sparrow so well;
How much He loves us no one can tell.

Our value is more than many sparrows can be;
Our Father has an infinite love for you and me.
He sees each sparrow that falls to the ground.
With that little bird His presence can be found.

So the next time you are loaded down with care,
Think of the sparrow message God has to share.
Since He takes good care of His little bird,
He'll take care of us according to His Word.

Footprints in the Sand

One night a man/woman had a dream that he was
walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each
scene, he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, the
other belonging to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the
footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times
along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints, and that it
happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life...

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord
about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But during the most troublesome times in my like,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most,
you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I Love
you, (Name), and I would never
leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you."
