Poetry
Goldfinch
On hillside grew a thistle
Filled with ripened seed
Festooned with silken plumes
God's provision, lowly weed
A pair of goldfinch
Attracted by purple crown
Stood on thorny blossom
Finding seeds beneath the down
Neath the colorful petals
Uncovering tasty seeds
In joyful abandon feasted,
At banquet from a weed
True to his promise, God provided
Birds of the air all they could eat
Together they sing their praises
Thanking God from banquet seat
Never hungering, with no worries
Trusting God for all their needs
Enjoying what he provided
Dining on their feast of seeds
