Bluebirds Day 12

The father wooed her
Helped her build their nest and sang
Fed her on the nest

Till harm befell him
A hawk or a cat. We found
tufts of his feathers

Alone she feeds them
All day every day she works
Tireless single mom

Today her feathers
turned dark gray when drenched with rain
And still she fed them
