A Little Boy I Saw Poem by Cigeng Zhang

A Little Boy I Saw

Rating: 5.0


He stood by a big bird
Reluctant to leave
He asked his dad
to bring the bird home
Daddy shook his head
Saying, no, baby
If I put you in a cage
Would you be happy?

He leaned against a cage
Reluctant to leave
He asked his dad
to buy the cat home
Daddy shook his head
Saying, no, baby
If you felt lonely
She'd be more lonely

He was there still, gazing at
The bird, the cat - regret

Wonderful poem, the world seen with young eyes has so much more wonder in it.

I suggest you to change the title to the pet shop . :) once my cat hunted a pidgin, we saved it and looked after it for more than a month , our patio became the pidgin's room. but still a cage .. a big one, , , and I released the pidgin to the biggest cage: the sky!
