Tiny Bird

Today a little bird i saw
and the funniest thing it did,
before it took flight
it stretched its tiny legs;
checked its baby tail;
and stood on its tiny wing and stretched it out.
strangely i realised we're just like that bird,
before we can run or fly or soar,
somehow we got to get stretched out.
so sometimes when life gets you down,
think of that tiny bird,
as he stretched out before he flew
so sometimes God stretches you.
