The Dead Bird

i found a bird in my yard
seemed it could not fly
it was just flopping about,
so took it in i did...
mended its wounds,
and nourished its needs.
a cat got hold of it,i believe?
now it is under-ground...dead.

poor little feller,it tried.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Gary. I will not be reading poetry for a few days as I will be gone from Friday until Monday. I wish you a weekend filled with good health, love, and loads of inspiration. Love and Blessings, Carol
