The Lonely Nest


A lonely nest sat, at the top of the tree. 
Thinking "why won't anyone live In me?
I was made with love and mud and sticks.
And after a storm they would mend me and fix.
I've sat here years now, slowly falling apart. 
Not looking much like the original piece of art. 
may as well face it, I'm needed no more
Not from anyone who lived here before. 
I shall close my eyes and sleep now
My time has come to take a bow. 
But wait what is this? A bird has landed.
She is mending me and my life has suddenly expanded. 
More sticks she's gathered, and moss twine and mud.
I never thought I could again look so good. 
I'm no longer a nest lonely and old 
For a kind bird mended me with her heart of gold.
For she needed not, a nest of her own and flew off again to her chicks at home. 
A new family now, live in my breast. 
They sing all day and made me their nest."
