Frail Feathers Tremble

We'll survive
This too will pass
We've been through worse
Patience wins the day...  

The tender chick though
within frail feathers trembles
never sure if the worst
has passed, or lurks just ahead...

Hug the child, your child, our children
their frail feathers tremble ~
  when hens and roosters dissemble

Yeah, the children are the worst affected when there's problem in families, love your chic (pun intended) language, Gershon:)
