Bluebirds

I see you gracefully dancing on the leaves of the rhubarb bluebird

Picking out seeds inspecting them with your little eyes bluebird

A great father you are willing to go through gale winds for them bluebird

I respect seeing you not crumbling like stalwart like the tree you live in bluebird

Feathers like a hailstorm leaving them in the nest like an emblem of you bluebird

As you dread the winters coming knowing you can’t leave them in this can you bluebird

So instead you’ll warm them with your body even if it costs your life won’t you bluebird

Such a sacrifice even when no one notices to just taken for granted aren’t you bluebird

But you just settle in the cold to go from blue to white for anyone but you bluebird
