Winging (Duo-rhyme)--By Connie Marcum Wong--United States

Winging (Duo-rhyme)

I feel so blessed to view the sky,
To watch God’s majestic birds fly;
To hear them wake, begin to sing,
Then leave their tree limbs on the wing.
As winter season turns to spring
Mating birds hunt for twigs and string
To build a nest for mothering.
Soon what joy little eggs will bring
When these new fledglings learn to fly
And leave their wing prints in the sky.

*Dedicated to the late Mary L. Ports who created this lovely form.
