The Starter Post/"Jewelbird"

So here it is, my first step towards a dream. As such I'll be posting poems on here, either new or some I've already written. I hope that these poems reach out to others and that others can get help from these poems.

This first poem tells you a little bit about myself and my screen name. You'll get to know me more through my poems as each one speaks to me as well as hopefully speaking to anyone who reads this. All are written by me.

"Jewelbird"

I am a bird

Free, flying high

I can choose to go where I want

or let the wind take me where it will

I depend on the seasons

And God's provision

And yet work to find the food that God provides

And to build a home with God-given materials

I do not worry much about

where the food and materials will

come from, but trust in God.

God and I work together to

provide for myself and my family

I cheerfully sing my song of praise

or cry out to God when I'm in

need or I'm after something

I look out for others, calling out

if I sense or see danger

I am beautiful, cute and/or

magnificent and yet may

look plain to some.

I am a Jewelbird
