Our poor spirit

If  I should change as does our weather now
Then  down to Bedlam I would soon be rushed
One moment  calm,one moment violence blows.
Then apple blossom’s  thrown into a bush.

I think of all the birds that nest so near.
I can’t protect them from this   savage  gale and rain.
They follow Nature’s laws and yet must fear.
For she does not protect them from  the strain.

Why is it that our love and work don’t count?
Nesting  birds  must struggle with this hail.
Destruction or Creation equal mount
Yet birds  will try again who this time fail.

We learn that even when all  seems destroyed
By future  hope our poor spirit is buoyed,
