Sweat in summer, <br />Shivered in the winter <br />Bruised the feathers, endured the pain <br />Flown to miles to collect the straws <br /> <br />Built a nest <br />Admired a beautiful life <br />With chirp of birds <br />Cacophony all around <br /> <br />Opened their eyes <br />Embracing close to my heart <br />Put the grains, opening their mouth <br />Protected, clasping inside the wings <br />Taught how to fly and brave the sky <br /> <br />All have grown <br />Flying with their own wings <br />Elder had flown, followed the young <br />Occasional was the appearance <br />Those days are also over <br /> <br />Now aged is will <br />No strength in wings <br />Empty is nest <br />Silence is all around.<br /><br />Santosh Sharma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-nest-10/
