    Poem Commentary

    It is a determined fact that when a  bird is of a certain age, momma bird pushes it from the nest. Not to harm it in any way, but to teach it that it must fly

    Should We Be Birds

    Should We be Birds: Drew Lancaster

    Mama bird, like life

    Puts baby bird to the test

    The outcome two options

    One life, Two Death


    Suprised by time

    Shortness of breath

    Suddenly life strikes

    Pushing us from our nests


    Falling fast

    Being so afraid

    Time now of essence

    Life has so betrayed


    Fear grips the mind

    Now unable to speak

    Pray you know I would

    Only tears can I weep


    Just then it seems

    All is lost in vain

    Grace sends a wind

    Love whispers your name


    Be strong my child

    Make your life a song to sing

    When you fall child

    Remember these two things


    Grace the wind to fit you

    Accept the love He gives you

    And last of all

    This one thing


    Remember the song in your heart

    Remind yourself to sing

    And when all else fails, come rain come hail

    His love will give you wings

    The experience of fear that gripes us all when we must face life alone. A birdseye view.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
