‍

When God picked up his pallet.

He knew just what to do.

He chose the brightest colors

To make a bird like you.

‍

The blue is so majestic,

A redbreast to amaze.

Your wings chartreuse and purple

Deserve the highest praise.

‍

Kaleidoscope of brilliance,

A wonder to behold

Wrapped up in one small bunting,

Creating joy untold.

‍

Oh herald of such music,

You trill your song so sweet.

You grace earth with your presence.

I pray that soon we’ll meet.

‍

And if my prayer is granted

I’m sure that I will say

I saw a bit of heaven

On loan from God this day.
