Compact, Jubilant, Neglected
I Just Wonder
She sits in a compact space
feeling a bit neglected
among so many others
as her wide open curious
waiting eyes look at the door
Suddenly, there's a sparkle
she is jubilant and
takes-off to land in the extended arms
of her working Mom
Back at home she will wait
for her Dad to return..
a darling fairy to whom
her parents dream to present
golden wings when she would be
ready to take a flight..
Won't she be happier with
normal stronger wings weaved
by the loving hands
of her Mom by staying at home
helping her have stronger feet
to stand confidently
before taking a flight..
I just wonder...
RS:)
