Chickadees and Snow

they travel far and discover snow and stars

The last Rose of Summer sleeps with falling leaves 

where scent lingers amongst the acorns scattered about... 

Birds dressed in colors of red and grey where storm clouds play    

Chickadees dressed in black and white find seeds and 

kindness where squirrels prance about grabbing peanuts 

left for mischievous minds where the Art of cracking shells 

is a gift to fluffy tails and piercing eyes of watching prey.   

Snow falls lightly as Winter lullabies cry for warmth of love  

when sleigh bells on chestnut horses jingle on their way to 

the Manger along with the Wise Men who travel afar with   

Frankincense and Myrrh and Gold ... 

 guided by a Star over the Manger in a Stable 

with a Savior born of Mary and Joseph who found no 

place in the Inn... settled for the warmth of Cattle 

and Lambs where Angels guarded the new born child.  

Amen...

This is such a delightful take on pre Christmas. the Manger and all. Tis delightful, Pat, and could be used as a discovering half hour with small children.. each to choose his or her own creature to have a snowy Christmas. Interaction always get littlies going. As long as the time is treasured, full lf calm yet a perfect interaction of animals and men, following the star: it's all relevant. Thank you so much for sharing.

dear Em... you are very wise to realize that children love to share the story of
the Star that was followed to the new born baby in a Manger. As long as there is giving and love and feathered friends and Lambs and Cows for milk and Billy goats 🐐 too...
there will be sleighbells and Camels in Bethlehem for those who
Believe in people helping people and animals too. May your Christmas 🎄 be
full of Live and warmth from above.
Thank you for riding in the Sleigh 🛷.
truly, Pat

Pat. thank you so very much, I love children, always hoped to have a few..but then, perhaps I'm a little girl 'growed' up inside xx.

Yes, Em... you are like the Velveteen Rabbit... so much love that you have given... to others and children too...
you may have a little velvet that is worn
Like a flower that keeps giving. xx
