Mama Bird

We have been watching our "birds"
come and go for over 25 years.

We've watched Mama Bird
sit on her nest,

watched the baby birds
as they've hatched,

watched Mama and Papa bird
"worm" in our backyard,

watched the baby birds being fed,

watched the baby birds grow.

Each time we watch it makes us smile.

The circle of life - in this case
round three for the pair this summer.

When they fly we don't get sad.
They go - spread their wings - fly

knowing they will come
back home again.

enjoy,
