Shattered

There were eggshells scattered all around They were whole unbroken There was I in the middle Not a word was spoken For I knew that if I uttered a sound The eggshells would be shattered on the ground (Can you guess what this means?)

Sounds like new born birds in a tree being cuddled by their Mom as their shells were so delicate and the least sound would make them crack open before being ready to be born... that what I read ..a bird's nest.. happy Christmas Day... Sara .. blessings... luv... Linda-Marie..
