Baby Bird

When I saw this little bird sitting on a log, I thought it was the strangest creature I had ever seen.  Then I realized it was a young dove. He didn't seem frightened of me at all.   As I worked in the yard, I saw other young doves hopping around amongst the bushes, so I assumed it was time to leave the nest. When I returned later, he was gone, so I hope he found his way back to his nest.

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.
