Little BirdyA Poem by Paige L. Brooks (Call me Andy)A small sample of a miracle..A child who sings, A voice that rings, And forever is a song. Screech of wheels, People begain to kneel, And a tragic moment for the child who sings. Mother sits by child's bedside, with tear filled eyes, As the father cries. Child's older brother blames himself, As he watches the little one breathing through a tube. Hes saddened as he leaves the hospitol room. Out into the sunshine he walks slowly And sadly. Little bird falls out of its nest And lands in front of the boy. He kneels down and picks it up. So small in his hands And so fragile. It reminded him of his brother. Little birg tries to fly, But can't. The boy says softly, "You can make it. Little birdy spread your wings... And soar!" He lifts his hands into the air And the bird soars.
A few weeks later the child walks and sings. The brother looks into the tree at the hospitol To see the little birdy looking down on them. He says softly, "My little birdy can soar again. Thank you."
