A baby bird who flew
For the first time ever.
His name was Squirt
With a dream deferred.

He flew that 13th on Tuesday,
Slightly ready to spread his wings.
Walking and ready to run away
While trying to be in safe distance near "Mommy".

His last flight was from a jump to the ground,
And he enjoyed the moment.
I know he's gone with good memories
While he's flying in Heaven
With an Earth-dream deferred.


The author's comments:
This kind of ties with "A Dead Spring" that I wrote as a poem too. I had a baby bird named Squirt who I knew wanted to fly soon. He started to, but the next day died with that dream forever deferred on Earth while he's waiting for me in Heaven where he's flying high.
