i once was a branch in a tree

but lightening stuck and separated me

i feel to the ground and animals trampled over me

and i was discouraged about my fate and what was to become of me

i had resigned to be washed by the rain and withered by the wind

and a squirrel happened by and altered my plan

he took me to the top of a tree, where i was part of his nest

it took some time to acclimate but soon i could appreciate the view

when i felt settled a storm moved in and tore the nest from the tree

so there i was again on the forest floor distraught and wondering

what would become of me

a few days pasted and i heard laughs, two boys were walking down the path

one picked me up and handled me and tucked me in a pack

when he got home he took me out and saw the head and tail of a bird

so he adorned me with wings and feathers , now i have become a bird

you never know

never give up hope
