A smart robin built a nest
More like a comfy little chest
With twigs and leaves, it was made
Within it, four eggs she laid
For days she sat brooding in her nest
Indeed it was a tedious test
One by one, the eggs were hatched
And four tiny birds that closely matched
Came out breaking the freckled shell
Making the mother bird in pride swell
The mama enjoyed their sweet company
To her, boredom no more came to annoy
The nest rang with a chorus of song
It became vibrant with a happy throng
The parent birds fed them in turn
Soon for the sky, they began to yearn
At times the fledglings stuck out their heads
Longing to leave their craggy beds
They found the sky so blue and clear
Still they were under the clutches of fear
But they knew, outside the nest lay true liberty
Before them stretched infinity
No more did they hesitate
Their mama’s movements they did imitate
They splayed and spread their wings
And into the sky, took off with steady beatings!
