events sometimes not in our control

 

The bird's nest

Nestling on the palm leaves

Rain or shine it held steady

The birdies would not feel afraid

The heavy downpour

The strong wind knocked

Nothing to be afraid

The mother bird sat in

One day it was gone

The grey cat jumped across

Pulled the bird's nest down

The birdies no way to run

Nothing was left on the ground

Only the bird's nest destroyed

The mother bird cried a day or two

Calling the birdies without respond

That's life

We thinnk nothing will happen

We should stay alert and beware
