The Pretty Little Wounded Bird
26 February, 2007
Author: Robert
A pretty little wounded bird,
Frightened as could be,
Was huddled there beneath a bush
Hiding there from me.
I gently cupped it in my hands
And held it tenderly,
This pretty little wounded bird
Knew he’d found a friend, you see
He grew in strength, day by day
And I knew that soon we’d part,
But that little tiny feathered friend
Had surely won my heart.
And then one day it sang a song
As if to say goodbye
With a nod of its head
And a twitch of its tail
It flew off into the sky.
Away it flew, goodbye to you
Come bye this way again.
And when I see a bird in my tree
I’ll think of our time back then.
