Raven Eyes

This Raven was a bird of the color of black with a tinge of blue,
I noticed him in the night time and I saw in his eyes he knew,
He knew about the Creator that above looks over us,
The Raven fed Elijah for in his God he did trust.

I also am reminded of old tales written long ago,
About the Ravens appearance and the message we should know,
I believe that we should be reminded that God most surely cares,
He knows when we need Him the most as we walk among the tares.

The tares are weeds that appear to be the real thing,
They look right on the outside but their growth does bring,
A spirit that is the opposite of the traits of love that be,
That will often cause friction within God´s family.

As I studied the Ravens actions and said a small prayer,
I thanked the Lord for this moment; for it is real that He cares,
The Lord can use the things around us to meet our needs on time,
All we have to do is receive and open eyes so blind.
