Injured birds break my heart <br /> <br />Like injured innocence <br />Losing the gift of flight <br /> <br />If only one could cradle <br />Them in warm palms <br />Heal with the touch of love <br /> <br />Breath fresh confidence <br />Into their timid breasts <br /> <br />Their recovery would mend my heart! <br /> <br />(13th April 2008)<br /><br />Res John Burman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/injured-birds/
