Snowbird
Grace E. Easley

Snowbird high among the branches 
You are blessedly content, 
With your glistening feathers shining,
 Like a Christmas ornament.
 Chirping out the season's greetings, 
Every note in sweet accord,
 Small, bright-eyed ambassador, 
Belonging to the Lord.

Snowflakes fall in gay abandon,
 As you spread your wings in flight, 
Will you journey through the heavens,
 Over Bethlehem tonight?
 Will you hear the angels singing, 
As the shepherds kneel to pray? 
Will you nestle in the warm hand, 
Of the Manger Child today?

Snowbird ever rising higher, As I strain my eyes to see, One last flash of wing, and vainly
 Wish that I might follow thee. 
But man's feet were made for walking,
Past the darkness to the light, 
Still, I think our destinations
 Must remain the same...tonight.
