Encouragement

On a rainy day, cool and damp
my eyes beheld a beautiful sight
As the mother hen covered her six chicks
under her wings with pure delight

I could not move for it touched me so
as rain drops fell from the sky
Seeing how she patiently sat, forgetting herself
giving her young a place to hide

Oh how she catered to their every whim
while as her feathers got soaking wet
What care she showed to her young chicks
but, still her chore wasn't over yet

She stayed right there showing no despair
as they took turns ducking in and out
Each time running for cover, beneath her wings
without one worry nor any doubt

That they were being well cared for
by their mother who showed them love
And they had no fear for she stayed near
to be a shelter from the rain above

So how much more our heavenly father will do
when we need a safe place to hide
Will he not also cover us too
when we need him to be by our side

Won't he not spread his wings of comfort
when those rain filled troubles fall
To shield us while they are hanging over us
will he not hear us when we call

My heart had witnessed his awesome love
on this cool and rainy day
And he gave this precious insight to me
in such a marvelous way
