Ode To A Cardinal

To the cardinal that lives in my backyard.

So handsome,

Admirably dressed from head to toe

In your crimson red jewels.

Prancing around in the trees,

As you and your love builds a strong home

To soon host little ones and watch them grow

Into the mirror image of their glorious father..

or the mystic beauty of golden brown

While being drowned in a mother's love.

Spring has sprung,

And you're both busy as ever

In the circle of life.

I don't think I've ever seen one in person, but your description does more than justice to the picture.

"Prancing around in the trees,
As you and your love builds a strong home
To soon host little ones and watch them grow
Into the mirror image of their glorious father.." - There's something very warm and inviting about it.

It's nice to see you're experimenting with happier subjects. :)

Love it..When ever I use to see a bright red cardinal it as a messasge to pray for my older sister that died of cancer..Now when ever I see one of the males or females I say hello to members of my family up in God's Heavenly birdland..God bless..Valentine

Being in Tennessee at the moment I have been seeing a lot of cardinals (and for the first time) and they truly are a beautiful crimson red sign that Spring has sprung. Well said! NH
