Baby Bird

by Brenda   Mar 10, 2019


Sweet baby bird
with your wings burned black
rest your weary heart
against this loving Maple
on such a cold and frightful night...
-
The storms wage on
battering you to and fro
makes you doubt
your strength
makes you question
your will...
-
It's ok, you know
this storm has been epic
even Mama Maple has
lost a branch or two
so it's ok
to be tired
to be sad
to be tempted to beg the earth
to open up
and swallow you whole...
-
But baby bird
although tiny in stature
and frail in form
you are a warrior
bands of steel
run through your veins
so rest awhile
gather your strength
the trade winds
call your name
guiding you home...

    Man ... the facts behind this make it so powerful it's beautiful an emotional rollercoaster...

    Guiding you home ... just a massive pull on the heart strings.

    Stunning

      My dear friend, I sent it to Robyn first. I wanted her to have it first. I'm thanking you for allowing all of us to be a part of yours and her journey. I'm deeply touched and if some small way I can bring you peace and comfort. You mean the world to me- hugs you-
