Today, I saw a feather
Gliding across the air
I wondered, in this weather
How one so small could fare
But, through the claps of thunder
The feather trudged ahead
Although it was held under
A likely source of dread.

Today, I saw a feather
Dancing amid the rain
The two had fun together
With no need to complain
The sight was like none other
The pair had made amends
Each found, in one another
The unlikeliest of friends.

Today, I saw a feather
Resting, when day was through
It had survived the weather
And taught me something, too
When life seems very fragile
And roads are much to bear
Continue on; be agile
Soon, God will hear your prayer.
