Daddy Is About To Sing

“What time is it?”

“I think the big big light comes later”

“Did you get any new feathers,

while you were sleeping?”

“I get a few wing feathers”

“I get some tail feathers”

“I get 6 leg feathers”

“Awww wings & tails & legs are all important.”

“Were you cold last night?”

“Never!” Mommy is a fluffy furnace”

“Mommy is the Best”

(All the fledglings cheeped in agreement)

“I’m wide awake”

“I’m getting hungry”

“Me too! Me too”

“Just be patient…”

“Why? Why?Why? (they all asked)

“Shhhh” (said the 1st hatched sister)

“You boys will  need to do this too someday”

“What about you?”(they asked)

“Nope… just sometimes quietly never at this hour”

“Shhhh (they all said) “Oh I love this” “Shhhhhhh”

“Daddy’s about to sing” “Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”(all 4 at once)
