“Birdie’s Song”
I wanted to share a poem my mom recently wrote for our son, who we’re affectionately calling Birdie (because we’re Finchers!)
She rented Life’s Greatest Miracle and was inspired. As I wait (now it’s a day after my due date) for the arrival of Birdie, I felt so grateful for her anticipation, too. It’s like Christmas is peeking just around the corner!
BIRDIES SONG
by Mina Taylor
Beating heart, and pulsing blood
DNA from him from, her
Gathering ancestry long gone by
Fresh expectations mount and stir.
Hold Joni hold
These moments in the nest
Anticipated longed for birth
Hold in Abba’s sufficiency rest.
Half your blood supports him now
All your love supports him come
Parental heart and soul’s shell crack
This child, your hearts, a glorious sum.
Entrust dear God to us this child?
Into your world, into your nest
Fluttering, feeble, failing, fly us
To You, our constant Sabbath rest.
Little birdie so fat so full, come forth!
Can I hear your song upon the height?
Family joy: strength for the day
God’s gift of song and winged flight
