The Master Builders--By Yvonne Sparkes--England

The Master Builders

Those master builders of the air,
Build homes with great aplomb and flair.
Gathering bundles in their beaks,
From tops of trees where branches meet.

A mission set before their eyes,
In warmer weather, bluer skies,
They pull and tug with all their might,
To carry twigs along in flight.

Such joyful vision nature brings,
When life`s transformed in warmer spring,
Each bird has nesting on their mind,
To lay those eggs and breed their kind.

To sit and watch in noon day sun,
Is to see creation just begun,
A continuum that God has planned,
A scene still splendid and  as grand.
