Suddenly

Suddenly

Robin redbreast

Cocked his head

Looked me in the eyes and said

Just because you have legs

It doesn't mean I can't see

Your broken wings

Will they ever mend?

I asked

No

I was shocked

You're not meant to say that!

Robin redbreast laughed

The day you no longer

Depend

On what I or others say

Is when....

Suddenly robin redbreast

Flew away
