Shy Unassuming Bluebird
The bluebird was shy
Unassuming
She did not want to make waves
Or hurt anyone’s feelings
The lady in the window watched eagerly
Hoping the blue bird would understand
The house was made especially for her
Bluebirds are rare and humble
They think of others first
They wait, even past their turns
The lady was holding her breath
She knew if a wren or sparrow swooped in
She would have to build a new bluebird house
“it is for you” she tried to convey to the bluebird
The bluebird did not think she was worthy enough
She flew off, and stayed away for two days
Before deciding that it was okay to inhabit her new dwelling
