Won't you help support DayPoems? The Red Winged BlackbirdBy Kate Watkins Furman21st CenturyIt's said that once, long, long ago, When Christ had come to die, The Blackbird saw Him on the cross And wouldn't pass Him by. He landed there, beside Our Lord To see what he could do To free the deadly crown of thorns That pierced Our Savior through. He worked to free the largest thorn And ease the stinging pain, Ignoring angry skies and winds The ever lashing rain. And when, at least, the thorn broke free Through strength that true love brings, The Precious Blood of Heavens King Splashed on his outstretched wings. The Blackbird's deed was blessed by God And to this day he's seen, Bearing the red of his Master's Blood Across the fields of green ! DayPoems Poem No. 1746 Comment on DayPoems?
