Kindness on the Breeze

A tiny home of twigs and moss
A magical retreat
A tiny tyke would spread his wings
To fly- his greatest feat.
But on the breeze he faltered 
and soon fluttered to the ground
Stunned he lay in silence- 
seeing danger all around.
His mother - in a tizzy - 
quickly flitted to and fro
But her baby bird was helpless - 
where he was - she could not go.
Soon small hands were wrapped around him 
as he lifted toward the sky.
Little feet stood tall on tiptoes 
as small arms reached way up high.
He was gently placed inside his nest- 
all snug and safe and sound
A gentle act of kindness 
in a world where love abounds.
