Oh, little One
A fragile spark of Life
Never to be engulfed in flame
Perched on a Payless shoe box
Missing your mother
No substitute am I

...but I Loved you

Abandoned and lost
Fed foreign food
And kept isolated
For your own safety
Just for a little while
Until you are strong enough to leave
And I, tortured by your loneliness
Waiting for the day
You can fly away

...because I Love you

Alas, your wings will never soar
On Earthly winds
Nor will you perch on power lines
Like your brothers and sisters
Or taste the misty rain upon your face
For death stole you away
When I wasn't looking
And left me with the pain
That never heals
But this day
And every day
You'll soar on wings among the Angels
And fly toward a Sun that never fades

...and I will always, always Love you.

I remember the story behind this one... Tugs at the heart strings this does, and bittersweet.

There is a follow-up to the story. A few years after it happened, another bird was found at the same place (on my door-step), and this time I took it to a vet where a woman working there took the responsibility to take care of it till it was strong enough to fly away.

It's the closure of a circle, a happy end.

Thank you, Dee. It makes life difficult for me, but I'd rather feel too much than not enough.
