I laugh with delight
as I watch the saffron finches
perched on the feeder,
enjoying their breakfast.
Sparrows jockey for position
on the window feeder.
Mourning doves eat the berries
under the black cherry tree.
Blue jays scream
at the neighbor’s cat
when he ventures
into the yard.
Watching my backyard birds
as they go about their business
helps me to endure
and move forward.
