In a cold land far away
all the birds are sad and gray,
you can hardly hear a song -
just a silence that feels wrong.
This goes on for many years
until the day a bird appears
with the sweetest singing voice
that makes all who hear rejoice.
As the bird begins to sing
winter ends and turns to spring,
colors seep in strong and bright
and the land is filled with light.
Years go on, the bird grows old
but her story has been told,
and more birds her music share
bringing magic to the air.

Oh that is sweet... It is pretty cold and gray in this land far away, but I do believe that I hear the birds singing. Your project pile is pretty cheeky to be giving you a look!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought! I'm giving it a look right back.
DeleteYour embroidery is lovely! Thank you for cheering me up with your poem!
ReplyDeleteP.S. If your pile is giving you THE look, you just look back at it :P
I am! It is not working... :-(
DeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteYou create the cutest stitching! Hope you have time to play (work?) with it today! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteRealmente um trabalho mágico, acompanhado de belas palavras.
ReplyDeleteBoa sorte com a pilha... sempre temos projetinhos para concluir!
Abraços.
Yes, I know "the look". I get it all the time in my little nest. Not always from crafty projects, though. Sometimes I get "the look" from my floors. LOL Your embroidery is adorable, Amalia. Fun applique, nice stitching. And another sweet poem. Ahhh, now I can face the day! :) Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe look is, apparently contagious. I'm getting one from the windows now. Help!
DeleteLove your stitching, and the words of the poem are so true!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Toni

ReplyDeleteVery cute and I love the poem
ReplyDeleteoh I know all about those kind of piles!!!
ReplyDeletegreat poem.:)
What a lovely story for Spring! Thanks for sharing it and the start of another sweet embroidery illustration. I am working on graph paper an embroidery pattern similar to the one my mom did over fifty years ago, that I showed a few posts back. Yet another project started on the pile that is giving me A LOOK, too! xx
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing that, Gracie. I love embroidery that comes with a story.
DeleteYour sweet poem and lovely needlework go well together. Hoping you're doing well and having a happy spring.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I think you have magic in your sewing needle and your pen!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Birds so often do create such special magic ...
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
Happy May Wishes.
All the best Jan
And noise! Birds often do create noise, especially at the crack of dawn.
DeleteAmalia, your poem and stitching is just charming! Don't you love when you get the look? Have a wonderful week. ♥
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, I love the stitchery and the poem!!
ReplyDeleteTania
Fun stitching you are working on, love how you are stitching around the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove your spring time story, I will have to say I love when we have warm mornings and I can open the door and listening to the birds singing before the dogs start barking and lawn mowers get going, you can tell they enjoy spring as much as we do :)
I think that they enjoy spring even more because they are more at the mercy of the weather than we are.
DeleteEach time I see your creations, I want to try it myself because I really love your embroidery!
ReplyDeleteBut I can't make it so beautiful I'm afraid, so I just enjoy your picture and poem. So lovely!
Take care, Sigrid
So cute!!
ReplyDeleteHi Amalia, I know how you feel. I have projects I've started and they are still waiting for me to return to them ... LOL! We have so many birds in our yard. All the houses are stuffed with nests and they are singing their songs. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I nead to hear this day, Amalia. Thank you so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteReally cute! Thanks so much. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank God for small miracles ... and magic ;)
ReplyDeleteWendy
What a lovely story about the bird who chose to sing! I love your little piece that you are working on :) Spring is in the air here, and we are quite excited about it all :)
ReplyDeleteMagic in the air! Absolutely!! Love your unfinished piece and the beautiful poem! I have a little pile of that unfinished business going on myself. ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI love the way you made the tree and the bird is charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute poem to mark the change in seasons!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet little birdie, both in your magical poem and your sweet little picture. I too, have a pile, a very large pile that gives me that LOOK!

DeleteAnother lovely project! (I have a few piles giving me a look.)
ReplyDeleteI have a few piles that are giving me a look too. I really need to tackle them. And also.... cute, cute, cute, my friend :)
ReplyDeletexo,

Spring is in the air and maybe the little bird is telling you to go outside and enjoy it ... your unfinished projects will always wait for you. (Or at least I think so. I don't have any, because I never start any ;>). Unless you count that I keep meaning to clean up and my photo files before they break my computer with their weight.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, the words and your stitching.... can you do a poem for 'in a hot land far away'.... as this little bird has been melting in the heat of Asia this month! I am so looking forward to June in the UK!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your pile!

In a hot land far away
Deletethe sun has its way all the long day,
the moon watches quietly as the sun burn
hoping soon to get his turn.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing! 😘😘😘
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful poem brought a smile to my face! I keep my 1 year old granddaughter one day a week and she is fascinated with birds. We have some very busy Robins always digging around for worms. She loves them. Thanks for the beautiful thoughts today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, a lot of birds are singing the whole day, espacially in the morning.
I send you a lot of sunny greetings
Nicole
Enchanting and sweet! Your little bird must not have arrived here yet in the AZ mountains. We have a fire in the wood stove!
ReplyDeleteCheerful wishes for your weekend, Dear. We are headed on a venture :)

We're having another spring-like thunderstorm at the moment! The blackbird that sits on our chimney singing his heart out morning and evening is certainly feeling spring like. It's joyous, I just wish that he didn't do it at 5am! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's day with the bird's beautiful singing.
ReplyDeleteAh this is such a cute spring poem and enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I would love to be able to look through that pile!!
ReplyDeleteAnd just like that, an idea for a new post :-)
DeleteHi Amalia, What a beautiful poem and your stitch work is so sweet. Nice to see you on IG too.

Such a sweet, poignant poem and lovely needlework with the sweet litle bird:)
ReplyDeleteHello, what a lovely poem! So glad spring is here and the birds are singing! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteA sweet tribute to spring and birdsong! We have the luxury of front row seats, when day breaks and duets can be heard in the trees!
