A Bird in the Hand

Fri February 25 2022 Scott Andrew Bailey

In response to Scott’s Daily Prompt, Cliche

A bird in the hand
Is not worth
Two in the bush
The two in the bush are free
The one in the hand will wither
The two in the bush will multiply
Bring forth bounty
The one in the hand will need feeding
Care and Tenderness
The hand that holds
Is neither tender nor caring

This is a lovely piece. I simply love owls and they take sweet care of their wee ones. I love what you wrote it is a tender write. ❤️
