I Fed A Bird Today
As I looked out my window
I saw a Robin flopping around in the street.
Immediately filled with sadness for its pain
I wanted to care for the creature.
Went to the kitchen & took two slices of bread.
Broke them in to a handfull of crumbs.
By the time I reached my door
The bird was sitting on the curb.
I opened the door as God instructed.
Thought the winged critter was all better.
As I approached
It did not fly away.
It just sat there & starred at me.
Was it in shock?
Did it fall out of the tree?
I tossed my handfull of substinance.
The Robin still remained.
Turning back towards the door
To get out of the rain.
Glanced back to see if my new friend
Was enjoying my donation
But it was gone.
The only thing in my sight
Was a pile of rain soaked pieces of bread.
Now sad thinking my good deed
Was not induldged.
I sit back down
Next to my window again to see
My new friend the Robin,
Four others and one black bird.
Elated I made toast
And joined the feast.
