 Daddy just left us Our bellies are so full now Napping comes easy ~*~ Welcome To our moments Of “ugly duckling” phase Our beaks Are bigger than Our bellies We’re certainly not much To look at. Our parents Think we are more Than precious. Listen. Do you hear them? They are standing guard, as There’s this lady That keeps peeking out Her window, watching us. She thinks we’re going to fly away Or something If she blinks. Silly woman. We have a few more weeks Of growth and learning From mama and papa Before we do anything silly Like fly. What’s so big about flying away, Anyway? Besides, we’ve heard the stories. Sigh. The wind brought to us Tales of adventure, Of worms to be found, Sunlight to bathe in, And water to splash. Then the wind grew a little colder And we learned of places south, And heard of dangers ever-present, Like cats, Dogs, and bigger birds Who could make a meal of us. The three of us are pretty sure We’re not going anywhere For a while. That lady in the window Can stop worrying now. Mama and Papa are doing just fine. Listen. They’re singing. Yawnnn. Night night. |

Oh my! The words are so beautiful and the picture makes it all real. Aren't they the cutest/ugliest little things you have ever seen? What a blessing! What a happy Mother's Day for PiP's Ms. Robin! You have a wonderful Mom's Day too dear lady. Thanks so much for the updates. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

The baby birds sound adorable..... Hope to hear more about these little darlings!!!! I loved the poem Karilea!!!! Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

Oh Karilea, how sweeeeeeeeeet! I melt and as much as I love cats, in this moment I pray none of them may get near there! Thank you for this moment of beauty you share so lovingly. Love, Margherita  |

Something silly... Like Fly... How similar to the first steps of a newborn... Nice one KJ, your pen compliments your photography very well. |

Karilea's Babies Who da mama? I think it Karilea. She watches her birdies so carefully. She says she fears that she one day will miss a stage. I wonder if she could, she would build a little cage. Not one that could hold them forever, for you see. She knows just as her spirit, those birdies must remain free. Sorry, just a little something. I can see you peeking at those birdies all day! Very cute! -Patricia |
