Bird Cage

Little Little Bird
Sitting in the cage
Never chirping
Never singing
Why not do so?

Little Little Child
I sit in a cage
My voice runs dry
My songs grow old
Why even bother?

Little Little Bird
Why not give it a try?
Fill your soul
Then let it out
A sweet song for us all

Little Little Child
What should I sing
I see nothing worth trying
Every things so dull
What would you like to hear?

Little Little Bird
Please try for me
Think of the world
Your world
Then let it and sing

Alright Little child, I shall try, now listen

Little Little Bird
Your song is so sweet
But horribly sad
Why dear Bird
Why so sad?

Little Little Child
Why be happy?
I'm trapped in a cage
With nothing to do
Without a glimmer of hope

Little Little Bird
Your songs bitter sweet
And your feelings so sad
I shall free you then
So you can be happy again

Little Darling Child
I thank you so much!
I am free now
These thine bars
Are finally gone

Little Little Bird
Where will you go
Being in a cage so long
How will you know
Which way to go?

Little Little Child
Where I go
I do not know
But I am free now
It matters not

Little Little Bird
I wish you all of luck
That you find hope again
And will sing sweet songs
For all to hear

Goodbye Little Child
I give you this gift
As a token of gratitude
And so you can hear me sing
Just put it up in the Wind

Goodbye Little Bird
My dear friend for life
Thank you for your feather
And I hope we shall meet one day
One day when we sing

Goodbye, Goodbye, Dear Little Thing

Author's Note

I was surprised when I wrote this one. I felt like writing a poem, and this sorta spilled out. I wounder if we can all real relate tot he bird, being trapped in something, and the child helping freeing someone....huh...
