The Weir

Today the sun sparkles off the water.
Running in to touch my toes and out again.
Today I saw a mother duck desperately protect her young from a sparrow-hawk
She was so relieved.
Just sitting here - I cried.
Nature is so beautiful. She was so proud and bold for such a little thing.
And the pee-wees came to help.
But what to fill the hunger of the bird? ......... Don't know.
Just glad it didn't get the ducklings.
Maybe a mouse on its way home with food for its own young.
Doesn't seem fair.
All the way along - somebody loses.

Bethany.
