A Note for Mommy Bird...



It's quiet now.

All of your squawking, and complaining, and singing

is gone.

I loved them too

and my heart sank with yours to discover

the emptiness.

I understand.

And silence- Stillness- is all that I can offer.

  2. Ya, they were two little baby birds in my strawberry bed in the backyard this past May. The mommy bird would dive-bomb Sonya any time she got close to the nest. I went to check on them one morning, and found that a kitty cat had eaten the babies. :-(
