You Get It

I remember you
little one
standing alone
trying to keep warm

I remember you
puffed up with pride
while others flew
from limb to limb

It's true, I remember you
You affected my life
giving me guidence, comfort
and hope.
Not only to me
but to our entire nest.

I remember you and I know you will make it home someday,
your feathers spread as eagles soar I know
because..... you get it
and you have helped me understand what "It" is.
It has carried me through my darkest moments
when I have wanted to cave into a million pieces.
It has helped me to care for the ones I love and to be strong and it has never failed me.
"IT" is YOU.

(you get it)
