The Littlest Bird

 

 

The littlest bird

Peers over the nest

" What if I fall? "

And mama bird says,

 

" You'll fly when you're ready.

You'll fly before long.

You're little, my son,

But you are oh so strong. "

 

He ruffles his feathers

And puffs up his chest.

Mama bird says,

" You can just do your best. "

 

And the littlest bird

Looks up to the sky.

" Please oh please,

Allow me to fly. "

 

Then mama bird says,

" Don't look to the blue,

Because all that you need

Is inside you. "

This was recited on " All My Children " (a daytime drama in the U.S.)

as a children's book. I don't think there is really such a book

published; looks like it was written by the show's writers. After

searching for it online without success, had to go back and copy it

off my tape.

 

It is given to the father of a premature baby, very tiny, in the

story, who reads it aloud to the baby's mother. I thought it very

spiritual and timely and that you might enjoy it.
