I had long been Out of steam And was ready to alight, Worn down to barely nothing From the strength It takes for flight And to shelter, Sometimes carry Little one ‘neath my wing. We were ready to rest, Needing to nest, Wanting to sing… When a weather pattern Changed the course Of the flock With which we flew, And not liking the way These new winds blew, Little one and I Carried on alone. I wasn’t sure What we would do… Feeling discouraged, Trying not to cry, I turned to him and said: I’m sorry it didn’t Go as planned, Sorry we don’t Get to land, And please don’t mind The worry in my eyes And that Little bird, My precious guy, said: I’m not worried About you, Mom, You’re a tough girl, You’re doing what’s best Then all at once Awesome strength unfurled, Surged through my breast. I thanked God for Little one And held my head high. Then I wasn’t worried either… Watch this tough girl fly. ~I am the keeper of what he cast off~ |

Sometimes we exchange roles and the little ones are those who transmit strength. I think this is a wonderful and very poignant write. Love, Margherita |

Can I just say that I hate to fly? But I like your writing. |
