holding tender moments of a fading memory, and wondering if you will ever return
or at least remember, where it all began
there were no goodbyes
for you were anxious, and ready
to be part of a bigger world
my heart aches, longing for a second chance
casting a tearful gaze toward the heavens
and wishing we could start again
all the while knowing, this was your true beginning

Lovely post, what wonderful photos!
Fresh start is what we always wish for. Sometimes it happens too..
Even when we know things are coming it doesn't really prepare us does it? Don't worry, children usually have a way of returning (usually with laundry)....your poem is sweet and poignant - I liked it very much.
Beautiful!!! Many years (40 to be exact) Earl and I lived away from the family in another state and witnessed this same miracle. We spent many hours watching the young robins learn to fly - what a treat it was!! Loved the sweet baby faces and the speckled breasts! Your poem brought back memories of the warm yet sad feeling of watching them fly away!! You have truly witnessed God's miracle of nature's gifts to us to enjoy!

How nice that you had the close-up of the bird babes. They'll come back next year, perhaps. Kinda like kids. Good poem and photos!
