A Lone Sparrow

A lone sparrow begins to build her warm and cozy nest Searching for materials to stand the harsh weathers test Gathers moss from trees, dried leaves and some sticks Builds a home for herself and her soon to be chicks She finds a place where instinct says that it's secure Carefully weaving it together, that is her only chore The days began to pass and then turned into weeks Leaving the nest only when there is food she seeks The time had finally came when her eggs began to hatch Protecting them from being objects of an untimely catch Gone for just a little while can't leave her nest for long Must return home right away until her chicks grew strong Don't trouble that lone sparrow, it's hard to guess her mood Will fly right out and peck you when you disturb her brood From that little lone sparrow some feathered friends were born Perched under an old oak tree until the sweet and early morn Copyright 2013
