Honks and Chirps
- a Poem
- by Popsie Ebenezer
Children, seniors, Sir and Ma’am
All were stuck, in a traffic jam
Honking cars and shouting men
Frantic to reach their destination
The tempers rose, matching the heat
As more and more people got onto their feet
I too was bugged but what could I do?
A VIP was passing, I did have a clue
Suddenly I gazed up at a tree
And found a nest with chicks, three
Oblivious to all, they were having their meal
Fully trusting their mom & so full of zeal
Their chirping I was sure, was to thank the Lord
My peace and joy was thus restored
I thanked God then for His care on all
Be it in a traffic jam, or a tree so tall
Why worry? Why fret? It’ll all be well
When God’s in control, why shout & yell?
