Tiny Bird


Tiny bird,
Cold, hungry,
Left alone at dawn
And greeted briefly,
Intermittently,
And only out of necessity.
Only fed when begging.
Only warmed at the Mother’s choosing.
Until the Mother decides
Tiny bird is strong enough and
Pushes it out of the nest
Either to live
By learning to fly
Or not.
