Birds Are Meant To Fly (Amberly ©12/13/2012) Poem by Amberly Orlando

He loves his little bird
In the nicest cage he could provide
She is beautiful and proud
She brings tears of joy to his eye
Her carefree song fills his heart
Her sadness buried inside
Singing to him lovingly
Deceiving him with lies
She watches them through her bars
All the other birds flying free
A freedom she has never known
She sighs sullenly
He admires his prized bird
Locked up so safe and secure
She brings his life fulfillment
He can't see he's killing her
She is the most loyal of birds
But one day she will flee
To a life with another bird
Who will keep her cage free
Her life is her own
No one may clip her wings
Soon this loyal caged bird
Will have a new song to sing
