A Bird’s Long Passage
She was a bird off course
And very very lost
She had forgotten where she came from
And the gulf that she had crossed
Storms directed her passage
With the mighty winds that blew
With cloudy skies and stars
Difficult to navigate through
She somehow found dry land
And rested for a bit
Then began the final leg
And the thrill of flying it
The sun and the stars
Guided her those days
And farms and fields too
Also along her way
She found her precious wood
And her little mate
A nest they improved
And a family they made
Some said they were warblers
But no one really knew
The lesson was they made it
And were committed through and through
