Giving Crow 2 by knux33

There’s a life I want to give you,
Full of songs and laughs and toys.
There’s a life I want to give you
Full of nothing but victories and joys.

These woodland birds keep singing
A full and merry tune,
But the leaves have started turning ...
Winter’s chill will come here soon.

There’s a life I want to give you,
With warmth and comfort, without loss.
There’s a life I want to give you
As soft as feathered moss.

My home is a stolen, ragged thing,
I have nothing by means of food.
Child, winter’s coming,
What can I do for you?

There’s a life I want to give you,
But my purse is empty.
There’s a life I want to give you
But you’re better off without me.

I know a place safe and warm,
Somewhere I didn’t appreciate.
She will keep you far from harm,
And give you a chance at a kinder fate.

There’s a life I want to give you,
Without hunger, cold, and hate.
There’s a life I want to give you ...
You were never a mistake.

Giving Crow 1 by knux33
Sometimes if you love someone, you gotta know how to let go. 

Crow's a hobo/petty thief living on the edge of the woods in a hole-ridden makeshift tent. He has enough of a reputation that no one would hire him, and even if they did he doesn't have any schooling beyond basics or sellable skills. Hard times are coming, and it'll be hard enough for him to take care of himself, left alone anybody else. He wants the best for this kid, and alone as he is ... he's not what's best, and he knows it.

Crow hopes they'll understand one day, when they're hatched and maybe a little older. Who knows, if things work out and he finds a job, and gets a nice place maybe, just maybe, he can give them a real home someday.

For now, Alma can give them her best, as she always has, and always will. 



(I intended for this to be a usual written speel but weird poetry came out instead, enjoy!)
