A Bird's Long Passage

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
