A Message of Love

Down in the islands Where the trade winds blow A little birdie sat on a fishing boat Whistling away… As the morning sun displayed So I stopped for a moment And looked around Waves were rushing ashore, to a calypso sound And this birdie just won’t stop… Why is he whistling so much? And as I listened to this black bird It became clear to me... This is what … He was telling me "Not to worry 'bout a thing For what good does it bring When everything goes wrong... Stand up and be strong... Let your worries blow away And get on with the day" Whistles from heaven above... A message of love Here's a Haiku for display: Do but don't worry Act but not in a hurry Patience saves the day

There is nothing as wonderful as "whistles from heaven" . Nicely built, a story, and a poem. Thank you!

Yes, actually I began writing stories for children... I thought poetry might help me keep the story interesting since kids don't have time to waste...Thank you my friend

Nothing we do will change what is meant to happen, our lives are governed by a Higher Deighty and he chooses the course of our life - of course he did give us logic so we can to some extent use it! Worries make us sick, so lets look at solutions. Love this poem and your birdie, a message from above. Great write Arturo. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.
