A Bird's Quest

A birds quest Mother bird set out on a quest Looking for wisps to build its nest Up in the North, east and the west Undeterred flew in raging tempest Doggedly in pursuit of the best Persevered at its hearts behest To pick those evoking interest For days love's labour knew no rest Its tiny beaks were put to test Long hours of sweat, this was no jest And when it was time for harvest The brown eggs were laid in earnest Tenderly hatched with zeal and zest Snugly housed in warmth manifest Nestled with pride li'l fledgings fondest Would grow wings to win life's conquests...
