Flying with a broken wing

Across the sky at end of day

I watched as birds set off home

 to roost. Straight home with no doubt

Direct through pink flush sky but look

One bird at the back desperate

Flapping double time to keep up 

 With the confident the strong the bold.

Oh dear bird with broken wing

You are the bravest of the lot.
