Hatchling

Oh that sudden fall, from on high to earth

Unfortunate thing, so soon after birth

Bare pink, you're so fragile, cant live on your own

So tiny, what happened, why are you alone

The beauty you are, that others dont see 

I can see clearly, you're perfect to me

Your spirit called out, my heart took you in

I loved you to life, thats where we begin

I nourish your body & feed you my light

So your soul will thrive & one day take flight

How quickly you change, your feathers appear

As our bond grows deeper & I hold you dear

How hard it will be for me to let go

But want you to soar cuz I love you so

And then that day comes, you're ready to fly

Such beauty & strength that none would deny

This made me tear up. Did you actually experience this?

Not exactly, in the poem I'm describing a hummingbird but in real life I've raised & released 2 sparrows & a mockingbird
