Mama Bird

                                                              Mama Bird



Anyone else would have thought
You had not the time
For anything more, you were too distraught
Repairing your home would seem to take another lifetime

You started to mend your broken heart
With each twig and stick
You promised your young a new start
They started to believe you were capable of magic

As your nest was still being rebuilt
A new family came along
Their mama had split
And their daddy was trying to be strong

Even with all the work left to do
You felt a love inside for this family
You knew what was true
Like any loving mama bird, you took them firmly

You rebuilt your home, just bigger
Opened your heart a little more
Just as anyone could figure
Love began to soar

Faster then anyone knew
One home was built from two

Along came a baby that made it complete
The joining of mama and daddy in one little heartbeat

Mama bird, Mama bird your busy days are through
Look around at all you have done and all who love you
