Of all the birds the Lord created for us to enjoy our State has the Cardinal.
Its pretty red feathers and yellow beak are only two of the characteristics we note.
There is a song that the Cardinal has of its own that is pleasant to hear.
The Forefathers chose well to have this bird of all birds to be ours.
Give praise to the Lord since He has His hand applied to all things.
Forever acknowledge the Lord's direction even for a small, little bird.
Never forget we are to protect this bird from extinction and losing it for all time.
Give your honest effort to show your gratefulness of having God to rule and providing us with such a wonderful gift.
Always acknowledge the Lord's hand at every detail knowing He is perfect and without flaws.
