A Goldfinch and a Chickadee
Poetry by Mary T. Hoffman
(Written 29 July 2006)

A Goldfinch and a Chickadee,

A doubly welcome sight,

Landed in our tree

After their busy flight.
 
Though they seem unaware

Of the oppressive heat,

Their families need care –

Obligations to meet.
 
“Bird-brain” folks sneer,

Though wars they fight

While full of fear –

No end in sight.

But lessons we learn
 
From birds, we’ll find,

Will help us earn

Some peace of mind.
