Lost Flight
I left the nest one night,
Fell out!
My very first flight.
Sparkling dew sprinkled across my feathers.
Soared and twisted in the air,
Swinging wings,
I beat the air!
Scavengers saw me from below.
Pounced!
When I got to low.
Lost my heart and a wing,
Lost my flight.
But I can still sing!
