“Today I saw a lame bird,
he was struggling in the street.
Cars and traffic all around, I looked
but no one came to help him.
He was trying to eat a piece of bread
bigger than he, so I ran over
knelt to see, he had no foot
Poor bird, my heart was sick
so I tore the bread into tiny pieces
To lead him to safety away from harm.
He followed me and he did eat.
My heart was heavy so I stayed
maybe 15 minutes or so
The lame bird ate while I watched
How to tell this thing,
which grabbed my heart
leaving me without words?” said the Bird-man.

I said to the bird man,
“Oh sweet man I think you already did…tell.”
You touched my heart
and quieted my soul.
Today I needed to see
goodness and kindness
And I did with this beautiful share
You touched my heart and
quieted my soul
I thank you sweet Bird-man.
