"A Poem For Little Children"

A tale for little children
from mom and dad,
a lesson to learn
if you ask them,
to read this poem
your safety at home.

The birds began to sing
sparrows two by two,
a melody in the glen
chirping love songs,
where to build a nest
for babies in their shells -

“Why all the fuss today
our wings ready to fly,
high up in the sky
not caring why,
a hawk diving
mom and dad crying -"


“You’re so naughty now
falling to the ground,
squirrels jumping
hiding you away,
tails held high
disguised brown,
down below the oak
hoping for happy days,

wishing a hug from us
the kiss when afraid,
flying home again
a secure place,
woven tightly
until we say yes,
you are ready to fly
your nest in the glen.”
