Overheard In An Orchard
Said the robin to the sparrow,
"I would really like to know
Why those anxious human beings
rush around and worry so."Said the sparrow to the robin,
"Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
such as cares for you and me."Elizabeth Chaney, Overheard In An Orchard, 1859

what a scruffy little thing
"his eye is on the sparrow"
Beautiful pictures. I really enjoyed that post.
@Texasjillcarmel - ...and I know he watches me.
@Foodhog - Thanks!
What a neat post!
Love it!
My mother-in-law had a framed picture of birds and animals with that poem on it. We have it in our house now.
@fwren - It makes me smile too. Have a blessed Sunday. And I just noticed that it is your birthday. Love and hugs,
@slmret - @myhopeisinjesus - Thanks!
@ata_grandma - I hadn't thought about that poem for a while, until I captured the sparrow photo this week.
This is a poem that my grandma Stauffer used to quote to me... and I memorized it as a very young girl. Words to live by!!!
