BIRD SORROW

I find a bird that cannot fly
His mother nearby asking why
The back and forth chirping is so loud
As it echoes off the high flying clouds

A cat has injured the poor bird’s wing
It can no longer perch in the trees to sing
Trying as hard as he can to fly away
He realizes he is on land to forever stay

Mom keeps chirping and staying by his side
She wishes she, herself, could give him a ride
It’s so sad to watch the two of them cry
As he keeps jumping up trying to fly

His life has been shortened I’m sad to say
All I can do is move him and watch him lay
Tears come to my eyes as I watch him try
Knowing for certain he will never be able to fly

Mother Nature must now take her course
I cannot interfere with Her powerful force
God, please watch over this little bird’s life
Reach down and grab him taking away his strife
