The Big Birds

I met a Canada Goose
And said, how are things?
She said, I have no choice,
I take what life brings.

Am trying to build a nest
Somewhere safe and wet,
And all these decisions
Are making me sweat.

I met a Blue Heron,
Not looking all that great.
She was rather sad,
Because she lost her mate.

I said, look over there!
See him in the tall grass?
He is looking for fish,
Like Kokanee and bass.

I saw a grand osprey,
In a nest up so high.
Keenly guarding her nest,
Wanting nothing awry.

How majestic she looked
Gliding in the blue sky.
I would love to explore;
How I wish I could fly.
