Building a Nest. (original) (raw)

Texas | Columns | "Once Upon A Line"
by David Knape

How does a bird
build a nest
it has no hands
and no plans
no engineering degree
no architectural acumen
how then does it manage
to build a nest
one twig at a time
balanced on a limb
in the wind
a natural wonder
a remarkable skill
I look up to birds
and wonder how
I can't even build
a sandwich.
