Taking flight
Please
be all right
I can’t help but worry. I’ve watched them gather materials,
build the cradle, nurture and fiercely protect their babies. Only to be sent out to
a cruel world.
On yesterday’s walk my heart broke yet again-the fields were
being plowed. The fields where my Red-wings and Bobolinks build their families.
I am hoping the fledglings were strong enough to take
flight.
