Hello Sheila. What a variety of birds you had yourself today everything from Pheasant's to the tiny Wren, and then you throw in a Brambling, which must be one of the last of it's sort still here. well done.Like the photo's
thanks all.Karen and denis,great being able to get a shot of the wren,often in the garden but first time it has stayed long enough to get a half decent photo. Ken, the pheasants come every year to nest in the overgrown patch over the fence.OH cut a hole in the fence so they can come through and feed.The brambling is such an pretty bird first time I have seen one this winter,as you say wont be here much longer~ Sheila sheila
For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
