Old Before New

Every day once a while
I could see the construction of a 
new building going by,
It proceeds slow enough
to make some innocent birds mistake
it for an abandoned shelter;
They have begun building their refuge
on its dusty window sills,
lovingly nurturing it to become 
permanent, giving their everything.
