Cardinal Rule
A cardinal couple cuddled on the lawn today
Well... the cardinal version of cuddling, I think
He called and she swooped down from a branch
They touched beaks, I think he might have given her a treat
And isn't that a sincere expression of affection
To share the essence of life with a partner
Sustenance essential to existence
Sustaining one another, comes naturally to some
Others struggle with their life alone
Never learning how to ease the burden
Never hearing that sweet song
That turns a feathered nest into a home
And makes a life as unfulfilled as long
