A Father

He stands there, and watches me.

Fearful eyes that have to look.

Turned his head, trembling a bit.

People forget him; not new.


He probably has babies.

He's looking like a father.

Maybe they are hungry.

Nearby might be the mother.

I move to give him some food.


He got too scared, that he flew,

For he was a little bird.
