Touching. But I do notice the birds. I put a bird feeder where I can see it while I eat lunch. 🙂🐦

Thank you, Mark. Same! We’ve got a couple bird feeders out back. Fun for the kiddos to take care of and keep an eye on. 😊

It’s either the sad circle of life, or the sad truth about how many of us don’t appreciate God in our lives. Either en way, it’s a great story, Justin.

I love your take/interpretation of the story, Kim. This alone validates why I should continue writing here, so thank you so much for that!

I kind of wrote it with nature - all of nature - in mind. But I do agree with your other points, too! 😀

Thank you, Andrea! I think I emailed this one to you a month or two ago (maybe longer than that?). I felt ready to release it into the wild. 😄

This is a winner. I'll think of it when the woodpeckers and sparrows are chillin out back

Aww, thank you so much, Dascha. I’m really happy it resonated with you the way it did. I’ll be honest: I got a little misty-eyed while writing it!
