Act of Kindness

Andres “Jay” Molina

The winter left me with a sour taste

The spring with a hopeful smile in my face 

Turning the fauna of Roosevelt island alive

Making all the insects and birds fly in stride 

A bird with a natural red collar neck flew into a wall

my boy Sammy and I witnessed it all 

We ran to the rescue, of our fallen friend

Hoping that with the fall, he didn’t meet his end 

But he was only dazed, we thank god for that

I decided to pick him up and put him under a bush flat 

Even though it was a rainy day, and I could’ve got sick

I put a towel over my head, cause my friend I couldn’t leave 

I felt like I had to protect life, no matter what 

Knowing that around the hospital, roamed a black cat 

After living my life, with no regards and compassion

The good side of me, showed up and took action 

And finally our friend came out of his daze

And open up his eyes, we thought it was great 

He got of the ground, like if nothing had occurred   

Flew in circles around us, to show us he was cured 

With the beauty and finesse of an eagle, he took to the sky

My friend the red collar neck bird, flew out of our sight
