A Little Glimpse of God

by Kathlene Perry
(Lodi, CA, US)


Outside my frosty windowsill
Sat a little red bird so sweet and still.
He cocked his head and blinked his eyes,
As I watched in wonder and surprise.

He didn't see me sitting there;
Of my presence he was unaware,
And as I pondered o'er this tender being
I realized what I was seeing.

I sat transfixed at such a sight,
And held my breath in pure delight;
The miracle of life was here -
What a privilege to be so very near.

His heart beat strong within his breast,
And I knew that it would never rest,
Until the Master of the plan,
Would still it with his gentle hand.

Then a lovely tune he began to trill,
Sweet notes that caused my heart to thrill,
And I thought I caught a glimpse of God
In his twinkling eyes and sprightly nod.

And suddenly he took to flight;
Red wings against the glistening white.
The beauty I shall ne'er forget;
A moment not recaptured yet!
