Paper Bird

PAPER BIRD I made a paper bird white like a dove folded it so carefully wanted it to fly softly through the evening air from my window to the apple tree but it floated to the grass and settled there was grace in the time it floated and wonder as the night breeze lifted it so gently to its downward destination but I wanted it to fly I made a paper bird.

Hi Patricia, You origami bird is your gift and I know you wrote a poem on it. Make another and make it go all the way to the apple tree. The breeze must come. Its so sad but so beautifully written. I hope youre ok. Love Jannie
