Learning trust from the flamingos

Be like flamingos

Standing in the sea

Fish in abundance

Whenever food-time be


There is no need to flutter

Create a feathery fuss

The fish go streaming by

They’ll always be enough


They don’t cram each last fish

Into their darkened beaks

Instead they wait patiently

To claim one within their reach


As you start your day today

Don’t forget to wait

For the provision God has in store for you

It will never be too late


Don’t grab at fish in your own strength

There really is no need

For fish there are a plenty

When it is time for a quick feed.
