A Morning Miracle
After two days of drama
Of pacing up and down
Looking for her nest
Looking for her eggs
Looking so confused
Looking all around
So imagine my pain
Looking out at her again
Just sitting where her eggs once were
I truly felt so sad for her
she was perplexed and puzzled
she was looking very muddled
For she sat just where her nest had been
Looking all around her
I went to bed ~ tears in my heart...
Awakened by the blackbird
his joyous song went on and on
As stumbling out of bed
to my balcony I did head
To see her moving bits for nesting
sat amongst it she was resting
and my heartstrings pulled again…
On returning from my walk
taking toast and coffee with me
I sat upon my balcony
for the morning sun was calling
as a brand new day was dawning
What was that I spied
a trick of the light
I cannot believe it
it cannot be right
For there it stood
just by her side
the shiniest
brownest
most precious
EGG
I jumped for joy
I whooped
I cried
For this morning’s miracle
I am waxing lyrical...

after losing her nest with 3 eggs in the night before it was truly a miracle to see another nest with another egg– gosh my nerves won’t take much more…
