Those damn Birds are gonna start "Chirping" in that Tree

[Karl]

Behind my house is abuncha trees and birds like "nest" there ..

Nothing against the Birds..

Just when I'm trying to "Sleep" in they all start Chirping & carrying on about 5/6 o'clock the morning..

I used to be like those "Freaking" Birds ..

Nowadays I realize that "GOD" gave those BIRDS a "Song" in their Hearts & Souls and they Chirp it out very "Early" every morning because that's "Their Way"..

Instead of thought of Chainsaws or the time when I was a child built a nest in our gutters & my Dad took a garden rake pulled the nest and smashed the babies heads because he was nursing a Hangover and my Mom was Angry with my Dad..

These days to "Me" I appreciate them Chirping at 6 Am and as a "Plus" they beak all the "Bugs" outta my Gutters that's their "Protein"..

I say "Thank Ya" Lord that ya gave em a "Song" in their little hearts..

I've also "prayed" like to "know" their TUNE

I "understand" this doesn't make any "sense" 2 most folks ...

I was about in 3rd/4th grade when my Dad pulled that nest to the ground and smashed the chicks heads because he was hungover & trying to sleep..

I knew then that wasn't right but I couldn't speak up at that point he could still beat my @$$ back then so I cried "silently"

The first time I shot a little bird with my .22. I was 11 years old. I felt so bad I cried like a baby. Their one job is to bring joy into this world. I couldn't imagine the world without birds and their song.One of my faves is the woodthrush.
