WHEN ANGELS ARE NEAR

When you see a cardinal, it has been said that it is a spiritual messenger. A cardinal represents hope, vitality, and new beginnings. Some believe their vibrant red signifies the blood of Christ.

They are a beautiful bird with a beautiful song.

Cardinals appear when angels are near,
their vibrant red feathers whisper softly,
eternal promises draped over sky,
a peaceful reminder of sacrifice.

In the serenity of morning light,
a flicker against the emerald leaves,
they dance with joy, free and unchained,
a sign that they are present,
a love that is unmistakable.

With each note in their song,
a sense of the beauty prevails,
binding earth to heaven,
and as they flit through branches,
I feel the warmth of something lost,
and something given.

These ruby-winged messengers of hope,
carry the weight of history,
the blood poured forth,
a reflection in the heart,
reminding me of each solemn story.

With every fluttery, I am touched,
in their crimson hue, a reminder bright,
of moments where love transcend the shadows,
a testament of faith, glowing in light.
