Ridgerunner's blog: "someone like you"

they say when a Cardinal lands near , it's a message from a heavenly being. 
as i looked out my window today , on a branch of a tree , a red bird i was seeing
it was staring right at me as i admired its beauty so i felt compelled to speak.
i asked " which heavenly spirit are you from? " and for whom do you now seek ?" 
i spoke silently with my mind as i asked " are you my mom , if not then who ? " 
as our eyes stared at each other the message was clear and it was for you.
it was like the bird staring could control my thoughts before it took into flight.
i believe the spirit was saying that Jada'lynn made the journey and is alright
i know in my heart this was a heavenly body sending a loving message of relief
to let us know she made it to heaven and maybe this news would ease our grief
i'm a nature lover , i look for it all the time and have never felt like i did today
there was a comfortable connection , i just can't think of the right words to say
that Cardinal wasn't just a beautiful bird the way it stood perfectly still and stared
it was sending a message to us loved ones on earth from an angel that cared
