Ode To The Blue Jay
As I sit out in the backyard at end of day
I watch a couple of birds in flittering play
Awed by their song and protective way
Entertained by the antics of the old Blue Jay
Their simulated hawk cry keeps others away
While keen eyes watch for babies that stray
I’m curious as to what words they say
As I watch the the wily and yet silly Blue Jay
I love to watch them as they enter the fray
Wishing they would come around and stay
Bowing my head I take moment to pray
Thanking God for the creature we call Blue Jay
My soul is encouraged by this beautiful display
Watching this majestic bird with a crown arrayed
It’s beautiful blue accented by the sun’s ray
Entrenched in the spell of the marvelous Blue Jay
Two flittering birds in synchronized sway
When all of the sudden to my dismay
All of the sudden they just fly away
And I simply mouth to them farewell Blue Jay
