"Why often worry we?"

(Composed after Grace Group
on December 21, 2008).

Chirping birds hop around
Gulping worms they have found,
Twittering and flittering about,
No cares, without a doubt,
Satisfying sustenance does abound.

Lovely lilies blossoming
Dazzling in brilliant clothing,
Warmed by the sun's rays,
All men they do amaze
Without a tailor's sewing.

Never does a bird fall,
But Father God sees them all.
Abundant blessings He bestows.
His dear children He truly knows,
And answers those who call.

Why often worry we
When trusting would we be
Could we but understand
The Father's mighty, loving hand,
From anxiety we would be free?
