there beneath a pillar
a goose had built her nest,
along a road well traveled
she decided it was best!
she must have had her reasons
for the elements were there,
the wind,the rain,the predators
that ever present fear!
but alone she lay upon her down
this weary goose not shook,
from passers by,such as i
who do stop and take a look!
and wonder why this bird had chose
to nest her brood so bare,
beneath the pillar of this store
where folks drove by to stare!
she sits alone,her mate near by
he brings her food to eat,
but shelter none and so the rain
upon this goose did beat!
the wind blew long the rain did fall
and yet she would not move,
upon her nest she stands her ground
a mother thru and thru.
and
much like mothers everywhere
whose love outweighs their fear,
of any rain or wind that came
and threats that mite appear.
so on that nest she sits there yet
even when those skies turn gray,
until that time those eggs do hatch
and her goslings fly away!
for even then her love for them
she ll gently tuck inside,
within each heart,as they depart
her mothers love will thrive!!!
so theres always a story with an ode...i took my sister to walmart,and as i drove by the now defunct jewels food store,i noticed this goose who had built a nest of twigs and down,rite beneath the pillar of the front door. rite around the corner from this store is a lagoon,where trees brush cattails and high grass abound...i thought to myself why did you pick this location you silly goose,when you could have had comfort and camaflouge,from predators,rite around the corner...well she says...who is the silly goose here...im giving you fodder for an ode..ohhhhhhhhhh i say...well that says it all...and so an ode for mothers..and even those who are not,but still share the heart of one...an ode for mothers day,but im not waiting for mothers day to type it...do we really need one day out of 365 days,for someone to make a call and say happy mothers day?? i think not...so happy mothers day every day too all of you and for those who have shared many a motherly moment with family!
hugs mindy oops i posted the pic twice...oh well..LOL
