the birdie flies away


The birdie flies away
After weeks of feeding
It has grown quickly
The parenting birds keep watching
Until the day the birdie can fly

Yesterday out of its nest
Looking at its surrounding
Feeling the world in its eyes
The birdie was eager to fly
But the mother bird kept it
Maybe whispering it wasn’t the time

Today in the morning I watch
As the birdie takes its flight
The wings get caught in the branches
I have to retrieve its wings
And put him back in its nest

The birdie rested in the nest
The parenting birds keep flying around
A sign to encourage the birdie to fly
As I walk away thinking the birdie will stay
But it never happens

A few minutes later
I hear the chirping voices over the trees
I watch from my garden
The parenting birds are busy
And the birdie chirping
Calling the parenting birds
“I am here! I am here!
I can fly away from my nest!”
