Shirley Rebstock Poet Rhyme

I Am a Bluebird

I Am a Bluebird

Two little bluebirds hatched one morn
Out of the eggshells their tiny beaks had torn

The little boy grew and became very proud
“Look at my bright blue feathers,” he chirped so loud

The little girl's feathers were rather pale
Gray in color with a light blue  tail

Where he was cocky, she was shy
“My feathers are not as brilliant,” she wondered why

Then one day, several bluebirds landed on her tree
She realized, “Oh my goodness, they are courting me”

The next thing she knew, four eggs in a nest
“Beauty isn't everything, my babies are the best”  

She worked very hard and showed her babies love
As she and her mate taught them to fly in the sky above

As life went on, her purpose became clear to see
Hard work, happiness, love, this bluebird is me


The description of the bluebird was modesty, unassuming, confidence and happiness transformation

Edward Ebbs May 24, 2015 at 7:23 AM We have blue birds with a slighly reddish brown chest. Actually it's like a Disney nature movie around here because my wife feeds everything...except for the spiders, and snakes. Congrats on your win, and you mentioned happiness and love, many congrats there!! Shirley Rebstock May 24, 2015 at 5:23 PM Thank you. My husband is the birdman here. However, when lived down south we had some bluebirds that had nests around our carport. They were so territorial. They would see a reflection of themselves in our car mirrors and peck and peck at them until we had to always put towels over the outside mirrors when cars were parked under the carport. Then they managed sometimes to see their reflections in the glass and try to peck at that to scare away their reflection.
