Kellsey Hartmann - Mama Bird

a mama bird sits in her nest
her tiny eggs nestled beneath her feathers
whether rain, wind, or snow
she keeps them safe through all weather

she cares for them each day
keeping them both warm and cool,
both dry and safe
rotating them on cue

she nurtures and they grow
loves like mamas do
she waits for the day
that they can love her too

one day they'll hatch
and she'll still love like mothers do
protect and nurture them
they'll love her too
