Running Bird

Her name was Running Bird, she couldn't fly

Rescued and given care, she would always try

A Gold Finch at birth, with all of her might

In this life, she put up a good fight

Then came a loud sound , she ran up a tree

Without her flight, it was the only way to flee

A woman at the window, watches with a smile

Not leaving her place, she's there for quite awhile

“I left my nest, so very long ago”

“She took me in, her caring I know”

“I wonder if the other birds knew”

“My courage came, all because of you”

“You gave me hope, despite my lack of flight”

“That in each day, I'd have your guiding light”

“I know, you'll be watching out for me”

“Your home is my comfort, when I think of thee”

Then Running Bird, ran up the tree high

The woman watched, as she began to fly

She flew by the window, but not for a final goodbye

“When I'm this way again, I'll stop in to say hi”

This is dedicated to a special woman who has a wonderful

heart filled with love for the creatures of this world. She

loves me, and I love her. I am as blessed as “Running Bird”

to have this woman's love. People, caring for the other

creatures in this world, is a good way to show your appreciation

for those we share this world with. Every thing here on this

planet is precious. Thank you Vicki!
