Wooden Birds

These birds are from my family farm,
They are considered in our family a charm.
They are from a gumtree’s wood,
And are part of my family's childhood.

In our house they sit up on a bookcase,
Two wings touching near their face.
I love to watch them in the day,
I often imagine them at play.

To my Mum they are a precious thing,
Because of all the memories they bring.
I think the birds at night must sing,
I also think that they flap their wings.

Two little treasures I will always keep,
Two little treasures that watch over me when I sleep.

So little brown birds I will always love you,
Oh little brown birds I know you love me too.
