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... Written today ~ 26th May 2020 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… Contest Brian's Choice W Sponsor Brian Strand 3rd Place

Sadly she sat upon this one egg with just a smattering of nesting materials (making a nest is not something she is good at!!) and on Friday morning there was nothing left and she had gone... However about 2 years ago we had a family of 2 chicks that were there until they fledged - it was such a joy to see them, but it seems this was not to be this year. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine dear Jan. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

How lovely to hear your wonderful words dear Vijay and I wonder if you have read the first two poems that led up to this one ~ 'TAKING THE FLACK' & 'she's lost her tomorrow', it truly is a miracle and I pray that this egg will hatch soon. Thank you for your welcome visit my friend and I hope you are well. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
