Food For The Soul

Magpie #30

Reach outward like branches of a willow tree

take hold of life and keep it within your hands

embrace it's cuts and bruises

then open up to take it all in

like a baby bird that will surely be fed

for he needs strength to one day fly

from this tree

so take each slice of wisdom

and consume it to it's core

for the seeds that remain

will one day be a tree

where another little bird

will open wide

and grow

and one day fly away.
