Daddy’s 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)
Cheers to your wonderful poem and Mommy being the best and daddy owl singing you creative poet creature💕💕🙏🏼💗
Awww Cindy thank you!! In English he’s a Clay Colored Thrush..drab brown…ahh but his song (at 4am) will knock your socks off…he’s got the operatic attitude of a true Diva:) Hee Hee I’m just one of the birds:)
*Footnote: I hope you listened to Daddy sing:) Every morning at 4:05am I get up to say my fajar prayers. Our National Bird is up with me singing his heart out in a mango tree right in front of my window….Just too beautiful….🙏
“Nothing is permanent in this world, not even our troubles.” Mother Nature knows best how to bring beauty to our lives. Thank you for this reminder!
Thanks so much Linda for reading and I’m sure Daddy’s song, reminds you of Costa Rica in the springtime:) My birds outside my window have been a constant source of peace and wonder…Nothing like Nature to inspire us….🙏
Ah, love this so much! The image of those tiny birds, warm under their mother’s feathers and down, hearing their father start to sing just before dawn. All just as it’s meant to be! We need more of this…
I know right…at 4am today I had teleported myself into one of those sweet & lucky fledglings and really felt Daddy’s song so deeply. muffled a bit by lovely down feathers keeping me safe and warm . So glad you loved it Dale..it was a true inspiration of the moment. 🙏
Lovely. Happy weekend, Karima.
Thanks so much reading this one Jeff and you too…Enjoy the
rest of your weekend my friend:)
Karima, I feel like I’m right there in the nest, hearing everyone talk, and “Mommy is a fluffy furnace” made me smile because it feels warm and real. The excited “Why? Why? Why?” and the quiet ending make me want to listen too, like something important in nature is about to happen 😀

I really enjoyed your comment David…Your imagination sounds very honed (like my own) I too felt it all from those lucky little fledgings, point of view.
I can only imagine them listening intently, when their Daddy starts his routine:) Thank you so much! 🕊️🙏
