Nestlings I watched an Owl attend her nest She did her very, very best. With every flight she brought a mouse Without a gesture from her spouse She preened and nurtured to their needs With mothers love and tender deeds And never stopped until the day They tried their wings and flew away. Now some will think upon this sight. To catch the symbols of the write And read it to their present lease And weight the gestures of surcease. Perhaps there is a message here A message that is very clear That if you don’t attend your own Then you will live and stand-alone So treat the world a birthing nest And try to do your very best. |

Sy, I like the title. Nestlings, neat word. I have learned however, attending our own is no guarentee they can fly, for each soul belongs to God, and flying lessons, often come from Him, in ways parents can't teach. Of course, there are those little birdies who just love to jump outta the nest before it is time. That first step is a zinger! But as implied, we do our best. A wonderful poem and food for thought, Happy New Year to you, dear, special poet. Thank you, you give us so much. Hugs and warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
