She flew in the big blue sky in search for twigs that would
make her home one day
She thought of the little ones yet to be born, as she pecked
at the straws from the hay
She flew past many trees that stood under the scorching sun,
so grand, strong and tall
Finally picked the one that would protect her children if
ever evil were to befall
As thunder struck and rain came lashing down, she moved on
undaunted
She had a home to build, a dream to fulfill, that’s all, she
had ever wanted
She derived her strength from thinking of her mother, so
fearless so gallant
Who braved through the years and had the strength to face
every challenge
She perched herself on the second highest branch and looked
at the world so wide
Thought to herself, when her little ones would grow, how
they would become her joy and pride
She closed her eyes to dream of her little home full of
laughter and joy
She couldn’t thank God enough for her two little eggs in her
nest and thought of a little girl and a boy
Time passed by and her two little eggs hatched, she opened
her eyes as she heard the hungry cries
There came out two tiny heads with big brown eyes, clinging
on to her for their dear life
As she cuddled them and fed them, she looked into their eyes
with awe
If only she could stop time but she knew eventually they
would grow and fly away, as was the nature’s law
SHE WAS NOW A
MOTHER
She became the wind under their wings as they struggled to
fly
She became their eyes as they tried to look up at the sky
She became their strength when they would lose hope
She became their hero to look up to, as they tried to cope
She was there every night and every day
Made them learn the tough world’s ways
She let them fall a few times and let them get up
themselves, how it hurt her but she didn’t let herself sway
Because she knew she wouldn’t be there always when they grow
up to fly away
She taught them to be brave, soulful and kind
To know between right and wrong, and have a strong mind
She had asked for a family different than others, special in
so many ways
Stand out when they would fly into the wide horizon under
the sun ablaze
She stood proud when they took their first flight
Waited for them to return every night
They loved her but couldn’t thank her enough
They knew for her to make them who they were her sacrifices
had to be tough
She is now at peace, her dream all fulfilled, a constant
smile on her face
Now when she goes she knows her little boy and girl will be
her mark in this world………………she has left her trace
