Stork flights in unison
To teach unity to every person

Holding the neck extended
Aligning the body as if amended

With legs pushed behind
To cope with blowing wind

With wide wingspan like the glider
In a well-defined order

Hover with one, as leader
Of course, watching is a wonder

With the flame of foresight,
Stork sets own nest on height

Bears young ones into the wing
Benevolently while growing

With wings, provides shade to the young chick
So that they could learn to pick

Causes to clatter to communicate
About the impending threat, to indicate

Maintains link with the group
To get the team spirit, recoup

Revisits the old-aged mother
To attend to issues that may bother

Cares the mother, with fresh feed
As the aged mother may need

Mother’s blessing accounts
For a peaceful life, it counts

Stork is a bird of highest spirituality
In Hebrew, stork means love and loyalty!
