Mother Bird Poem by Amanda Häger

Dear Umbrella
Protecting from the rain
Dear Armour
Shielding from arrows
A whisper
Easing all the pain
A caress
To wipe away the sorrows

Mother Bird,
With your wings of gold
Soaring above,
Our secrets you unfold

Dear Book
Where the world appears
Dear Voice
With a tune so strong
A tender kiss
To forbid all the fears
A warm embrace:
“Nothing is wrong”

Mother Bird,
With your wings of gold
We’ll never forget
The stories you’ve told

Your place in our hearts
Beyond reason and measure
A work of art
Your love we treasure

Mother Bird,
Fly freely as we go
Though our cage’s open,
You, we’ll follow
