    Little fledgling

    So smart, pretty

    Some feathers sprout later than others

    Each more brilliant than the last

    One by one you stretch your wings

    Testing the wind

     

     

    With tears I watch

    Soon you’ll fly far away

    Return home soon my little fledgling

    Young, almost grown

    Powerful wings that no longer flutter

    A fledgling no more
