A Storm In My Nest

It is my nest with three baby flies

With the noise of overwhelming love and glee

Their mother bird will fly all along the day

to fetch their prey

 

Though there is a chase behind the money

Up to that morning they were gay

The stormy day dawned with her arrival

She arrived as a guest and started her play.

The sheen of my nest started to change

And slowly it lost it’s laughs and happy notes

Though she was sixty lost her sense and

started her play

Every second of that moved as an year

and  every sound from my home turned as curse

 

She is my mother and grandma to my kids

Attacked us with the cruel words and tears

She came as a breeze and left

As a storm from my nest

Sorry my Dad!

He will have to look after you from her.
