Just Simply Be
Chick-a-Dee diminished in stature
Are you able to get what you’re after?
Small bird, last at the feeder-
Pecking seed left from
Birds that are bigger;
Bully Blue Birds, Robust Robins and
Thrushes rushing to feed
For all two-winged fowl have this need.
Little Chick-a-Dee, perched on a limb
‘Smallness’ is not a mortal sin nor found from within
Tiny body beautiful with feathers light
Have no fear
Let go
Take flight
And,
Just simply be.
