Sitting on our balcony
In our hotel room,
Looking out to the glorious sea
We had a visitor,
A sparrow landed in front of us,
On the rail.
It looked at us,
As if to say,
“Well feed me then!”
So I put some biscuit crumbs out,
And there is sat eating.
And then others came
And a feast was had.
We had another guest as well,
Getting ready in our room
The balcony door open
A pied wagtail came in,
Picked up a dropped piece of popcorn,
Bowed to us as a thank you
And then wagged its way out.
I was such a pleasure for us
To be so near to Nature,
To Nature’s glory.
