When I was a little girl,
my grandpa would sit and tell me about his blackbird ...
And Grandpa's blackbird was always right.
Grandpa's Blackbird
"My big blackbird watches over you when I am not there and then flies to my house to tell me all the good things that you are doing," Grandpa said.

Sometimes ... I catch a glimpse of a dark bird flying high in the sky, or perching atop a tall tree. Sometimes I see just the shadow of a bird on the ground as it crosses the backyard in flight. Other times I just hear the "caw" of a bird off in the distance.
Psalm 17:8 (KJV)--Keep me as the apple of the eye,(Lord) hide me under the shadow of thy wings.
