KINGFISHERS

Kingfishers are adorable,
I like their backs so blue,
To me, because they're beautiful,
My admiration grew...
I like flamboyant coloured things,
That outshine solemn grey,
So when I see their wondrous wings,
It really makes my day...

Throughout my life I've felt so blessed,
Great art enlightened me
And wildlife art has proved the best,
A treasured memory...
For birds that fly and soar above
Transform Man's hopes and prayers,
Just like God's angels, borne of love,
At which each mortal stares...

Kingfishers help me to reflect,
Like rainbows here on Earth,
That's why I treat them with respect,
Because each one has worth...
As cute as dolphins I believe,
Yet hard to put in words,
The inspiration I receive
Each time I see these birds...
