I’m watching a Mother bird
Sitting on her eggs
Only moving occasionally
To stretch her legs
She’ll stay there and stay there
Until they hatch
Her nurturing and dedication
Nothing can match
She’ll feed and protect them
Until they can fly
Then she’ll send them into the world
With just a tender goodbye
But watch, she’ll return again
Next breeding season
With love and commitment
As her only reason

Now if I was a tree
I could be a towering eucalypt
All mighty and strong
At least I’d never be nondescript
Or maybe a palm tree
Basking in the sun
Living somewhere tropical
That could be fun
Or a stunning jacaranda
All dressed up in purple
Its grace and its beauty
Are truly universal
Or I could be an apple tree
Covered in delicious fruit
I would certainly be popular
I think that would be beaut
But when all is said and done
I think that if I was a tree
I would just want to be nurtured
And to live my life happy
KMH
