Flightless

When I found them,

There were two.

Two eggs and two birds.

Flightless.


I did what I could to guard them.

I watched over them,

I put protection around them.

Flightless.


With care from a loving mother,

They were kept warm and fed.

Four baby birds.

Flightless.


Then, to soon,

Their lives cut short.

A sudden loss, an empty nest.

Flightless.
