"Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not."  ~R.W. Emerson

I can see her now
sitting in her nest
her nest sitting in a vine
of roses and thorns
she cares so tenderly ... precious.
I wish you could see her
she is magnificent
... not less so when she nurtures
so instinctively
then when she flies
so effortlessly ... truly precious.
