A small bird once lived in a tree

born recently and could not see

Always crying and always hungry

This bird here wanted to be free

 

Over the years the bird learned to fly

When it could it would fly into the sky

When mother asked it would only lie

Mother said Soon little I will say bye

 

The little bird was very cocky

I don't have to listen to mommy

I must take go on a big journey

Only to find himself now lonely

 

Mother bird left and would never come back

I don't know what to do in this new habitat

Survival was now only in his thoughts

Not flying or going on journeys over sidewalks

 

Soon this bird learned and understood reality

As the bird went through so many tough tragedies

Soon the bird struggled in his thoughts every night

Eventually, he just gave up and never fight

 

The little bird now is lonely in his tree things

Wanting to fly but no energy in his wings

Regretting his choices with his mother bird

If she forgave him or was remembered

Until he was done and finally Surrendered
