My testimony
A Poem about Brandon
I did not feed the birds this spring
No seed or nectar that summer’s bring
They’ll eat worms and berries until the fall
I’ll feed them seed on my window sill
But not all my friends returned in autumn
On chilly days when leaves are falling
The titmouse, nuthatch, jays arrived
Mocking birds and chickadees returned to dine
So many birds escaped fall’s chill
And perched not on my window sill
One cold day my son departed from this earth
My soul died with my friend from birth
I pleaded and begged to God to send
A sign he was with the Lord in heaven
Please send a cardinal, I’ve seen not one
I need to know he’s with Jesus, the son
Then Standing at my window sill
As Unfamiliar birds appeared
I looked beyond at the garden post
And saw the bird I loved the most
Bright red he perched then flew away
I knew my son was free that day
I saw my sign and my heart soared
I danced and cried and praised the lord
I’ll walk with my God until my end
And then I’ll see my son again
