The Bluebirds on my Balcony


I look out my window and what do I see?

A nest of bluebirds on my balcony.

They twitter and tatter, they sound so sweet,

They pitter and patter with their tiny feet.

The bluebirds on my balcony.


They are learning to fly those little birds,

They are learning to fly as I observe.

Their father calls but they don’t stretch their wings,

Instead they are busy with all kinds of things.

The bluebirds on my balcony.


Even though they feel their wings are so tired,

Their father encourages them to fly even higher,

He expects so much from his children below,

Because He wants them to spread their wings and grow.

The bluebirds on my balcony.


He comes down to them to help them soar,

But they peck at him to give them more and more.

I am sure he wants to give them everything,

But he knows it’s best when they stretch their own wings.

The bluebirds on my balcony.


They don’t realize why their father is waiting,

A yearning inside them he is creating,

He doesn’t give in because he knows they can succeed,

When they put in effort, they’ll get all they need.

The bluebirds on my balcony.


The lesson I learn from the birds on my balcony,

Is that it's our effort, our Father is waiting to see.


We are learning to fly, it’s quite a challenging task,

Trying to fulfill what our Father in Heaven asks.

He calls to us, but we don’t always proceed,

We just think about the things that we need,

But, it's our effort He is waiting to see.


And although we keep asking our Father for more,

Our Father in Heaven simply wants us to soar,

I’m sure He’d like to give us everything we need,

A father can’t bear his child’s suffering and pleas,

But it's our effort He is waiting to see.


Our Father is creating a yearning deep within,

That we should desire to fly closer toward Him.

It’s not easy, yet we have to keep on trying

In order to flap our wings and keep on flying.

Yes, it's our effort He is waiting to see.


I trust He does not want to leave us without,

But, He wants it to be our efforts that bring it about.

He expects so much because He knows we can achieve,

Yagati Umatzasi Ta’amin, I believe,

Yes, it's our effort He is waiting to see.
