Mary's Shield
Sweet Robin Fly!

You build your nest with twigs and straw,
and make your home up high.
You hope you’ll do your very best,
despite a dark cloud that’s always nigh.
Who knows what that cloud will bring;
despite the worry, you choose to sing.
Yes, you sing!
You herald the first breath of Spring!
And though that cloud is always near,
in your heart you try not to fear.
Remember, Our Lord God is always here.
True, that cloud may hide God’s face,
but you are not alone on this earthly place.
The good Lord has sent many to fill His space.
So take wing and soar the sky;
you need not worry as the cloud rolls by.
You will make your way on this sun-kissed day.
So take wing with the sparrow, the blue bird, and the starling;
take wing and fly Sweet Robin fly!
