Psalm Of A Bird

Twig by Twig

She carries.

Each day,

Each morn.

Contemplating,

Procrastinating.

Building every day,

Tower of Jenga.

Selecting,

Discriminating.

Every object,

Holds a hope.

Colors of future,

Dance vividly.

Lessons written,

For life's test.

But things turn,

A wind strums.

Disaster!

It's gone.

Days of work,

Mixed with tears.

Failure stands,

Laughs at me.

Failure stand,

Angers me.

Failure stands,

Drives me.

Failure stands,

Strengthens me.

Again a twig here,

Another from there.

I build, I sing,

Song of grit,

Perseverance,

And love.
