The Crane's Migration

BY Angela Bahn

May 2, 2026

In my room hangs a sedge of cranes

Gentle brushstrokes press their wings

Their long pointed beaks raise up to sing

A herald's call to the coming King

To be like the crane, so adaptable to change

Moving north as it turns to bright spring

By steady faith, to Him I cling

Trusting the Lord and what He will bring

But even as the seasons pass

I am not alone

Wherever I go, I long for the known

Your peaceful presence that I call my home

When You call me to follow, I'm led by Your hand

Through every shadow, come what may

Like the permanence of ink, Your grace never sways

Your love everlasting remains
