✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God's Wings ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻
After a forest fire, forest rangers began their trek up the mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings.
The loving mother, keenly aware of the impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base and had gathered then under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies.
Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, but she remained steadfast...because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live. {author unknown}
