In the evening sun you soar,
you’re not at all a bore.
With a beautiful nest,
that’s truly the best.
You feed on fish ,
Which is a tasty dish?
Back to your nest to feed your chicks,
Who await you sitting on sticks.
Wide open are their beaks,
They've been eating for weeks.
To become strong and healthy.
When they fly they’ll be stealthy,
To be able to catch fish on their own.
So sharpen your beak on a stone,
And settle down to go to sleep.
