What’s your name, where do you belong?
Did your mother sing a lullaby?
Did she kiss you to sleep with a song?

I hold you in the palm of my hand
And gently stroke your soft chest
Wondering what stories you would tell
Had you not fallen from your nest.

For now no sounds can be uttered
From your tiny yellow beak
As your pain prevents any hint
Of communication from one so weak.

So all I will do is blow a breath
Of warm, reviving air, until
You wake and give me a look
As to say, “Thank you”, from your bill.

Then my heart will beat once more,
No longer in grave suspense,
Happy that the panic is over,
No longer feeling sad and tense.

“Who are you?” I then will say,
To my little, fledgling Jenny-Wren,
“What brothers and sisters you must have,
Off you fly, go and see them again.”

Tell me more about you,
What’s your name, where do you belong?
Did your mother sing a lullaby?
Did she kiss you to sleep with a song?

I hold you in the palm of my hand
And gently stroke your soft chest
Wondering what stories you would tell
Had you not fallen from your nest.

For now no sounds can be uttered
From your tiny yellow beak
As your pain prevents any hint
Of communication from one so weak.

So all I will do is blow a breath
Of warm, reviving air, until
You wake and give me a look
As to say, “Thank you”, from your bill.

Then my heart will beat once more,
No longer in grave suspense,
Happy that the panic is over,
No longer feeling sad and tense.

“Who are you?” I then will say,
To my little, fledgling Jenny-Wren,
“What brothers and sisters you must have,
Off you fly, go and see them again.”

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
