~Little Family~ American Robin~
My Baby Robins


Quietly, very quietly, they flew away
Into the sunshine of a gorgeous spring day
The flight of a baby robin in a world of
Beauty rare
What troubles could they have?
I ask you?
All my thoughts I do not dare!

I said a prayer for them
When I saw the empty nest
I must ask my Father God to let my tiny babys  rest
“Oh Father, I ask you to watch over
My baby robins, let me put them in your care”!
Then I shed some face filled tears!

The tears streamed from my eyes like
The waters from the Nile
Then I thought of all the things that God
Takes care of,  and now
I must rest my mind for awhile!
Then
Quietly, very quietly, I cried again

I wish I could have cuddled them
And fed them day by day
But that is not God’s plan of nature
So I must go on my way
