We sit on this branch all flocked together
All of us birds of a different color
We fly from tree to tree and limb to limb
Helping whoever is in need for we are all friends
There was peace in the land, air and trees
We were brothers and sisters, no difference between you and me
Until one day the robin said I can do better on my own
Off to another land he had flown
Then cardinal said, I can do that too
Off to another land he flew
One by one they each left the branch
Scattered apart through out the distance
The only bird that stayed was the dove
Because he still believed the answer was love
One day the cardinal didn’t like the land he was in
He flew off and attacked the land of the robin
Then the yellow finch thought his land was too narrow
He went and attacked the land of the sparrow
The robin and the sparrow started a new land
Joining together, they formed a very strong clan
They attacked the yellow finch and the cardinal
The destruction of all the land was quite remarkable
Then the eagle was flying around
He couldn’t believe the destruction on the ground
He knew he had to make a stand
He had to do something to unite the land
What could he do? he thought in his head
If he didn’t do something soon, almost all the birds would be dead
He could use force, tear all the birds apart
But today , love was the only thing in his heart
He wanted to try love, to put it to the test
He flew down to them, he was much bigger than the rest
When the eagle came near
All the birds cowered in fear
But he gave them a helping hand
He helped them rebuild the land
He said “My fellow birds, is this how we want to live?”
“Instead of taking, we should learn to give.”
“Remember the time when we were never in need?”
“When one of us bled, we would all bleed?”
“Let all of this land be united as one.”
“It doesn’t matter our color, or where we came from.”
“Give love, teach love, be the love you want to see.”
“You see I have learned, the greatest change has to happen in me.”
With that said, the birds joined together
To make this land great again, forever

This was great! I agree, would be a great series of children’s books! I’m listening to most of the music and it made me forget the post! You’ve taken me on so many journeys. I was a HUGE follower of Micheal Jackson in my teens, when he first was performing. So it was so sad to be reminded of his wasted life! And the same with John Lennon, but someone else wasted his life. Of these, I love all the Christian artists. You’ve introduced me to the Rhett Walker Band. Not sure how I’ve missed them. This was not how I remember Paul McCartney as I did like him back in the day as well. But now, just give me Jesus and songs to worship Him, to draw me closer to Him, to want to be like Him!
What fun I had remembering….

It’s hard to believe there are no more comments. Has the world become so negative that there is no positivity anymore? I bow to this positive post. Love all and hope to make a change.

That’s how it seems to go. You write what you think is a good one and get nothing, write an average one and get lots of positive feedback. All in God’s hands.
