Diamondgal's Corner
A Mothers Heart
She gently nudges the babies
from the soft downy nest
trembling as they stumble
from their feathery beds
her heart flutters
as they approach the edge
longing to hold them back
back into the safety of the nest
with every bit of restraint
she can muster
she urges them on
tears welling up in her eyes
they must fly
winter is lurking
they stretch their wings
her heart skips a beat
one stumbles
She feels their pain
and then it happens
they dive from the nest
careening towards the ground
suddenly they are caught up
on the wings of the wind
higher and higher they soar
never once doubting
that they could fly
her breast swells with pride
at a job well done
Mary
