I have made some lovely birdhouses', <br />Out of small cartons, normally thrown away. <br />Took my trash to treasures, <br />With glued beads and buttons, on them to array. <br /> <br />I hung them all when finished in our tree, <br />Facing their openings towards the house. <br />So that I could see, birds busy at work, <br />When they came back to nest, <br />And take themselves a spouse. <br /> <br />There was another who did the same, <br />Over two thousand years ago. <br />His name was 'Jesus of Bethlehem', <br />But the art He did was so much more. <br /> <br />He took our trash of sin-filled selves, <br />And too treasure He did form. <br />And I'm told He's still recycling, <br />Of Mankinds Souls, He's now reborn.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trash-to-treasure/
