How do the birds know when to gather? Who sets the alarm that they hear? Why do they prepare when the wind still blows warm To fly away year after year?
Who guides their course in the evening And tells them the time that is best How can they know that the place that is waiting Has food and protection and rest?
Their designer who fashioned each feather And has given a voice for their song He watches them all Even sees when one falls And goes with them On their journey so long

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.
Psalm 57:1 ESV
In the treetop Hawk sits silently
While the thunder crashes round
And the Sparrows flit into the barn
Where the Chickens huddle down
The Cranes stand in the rushes
In her house the Blue Bird sleeps
While the Chickadees are twittering
In the thickets dark and deep
But Eagles fly up to their nests
When their children cry
And shelter them with wings so strong
While raindrops start to fly
Can you and I do less than birds
Who know the place to hide
And fly to God our refuge
When the storm is passing by

Okay so I wrote this as an end of year poem, but it also works for anytime God is pressing us to turn the page on a new chapter He has for our lives. I hope that whether you think this is great poetry or not that at least you will receive it as a real page turner!
Spread Our Wings and Fly
And now the year has passed my child See the new one lies ahead Yes all those days both sad and sweet Have slipped into their beds
To sleep until the hour God sets For eyes to open wide And see His sunlight streaming in To spread our wings and fly!

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”Revelation 21:5 NKJV
