Home Nest

Sun
Rises
Into the
Gray, white and blue
Where the bird once flew
Not fully recognized
For all the achievements made
But a purposeful flight taken
Will lift other souls who took the time
To stand by the values of the home nest

Intriguing! Silly me: I'm always following the trail of silver birds' (airplanes') flights, ignoring those of our feathered friends. Lovely penned, Heidi. Happy weekend! :) gw
