"My Little Birdie"

As I watch you quietly
I think of you my love
And convinced my self
That I am like this little King Fisher
As I talk to him in silence
Don’t you fly too high little one
I can’t hear your cry
But you can hear mine
Flapping your wings so elegantly
What joy does it bring?
Such grace as I watch you in silence
As I sit here by the waterside once again
You showed me so much pride little birdie
And I wish I could only fly once
And I wonder where will destiny take me
If I could really fly
Will I be able to cope?
Will I be able to fly with a broken wing?
The broken wing of life
I don’t think I will ever fly little one
But I can always try… always try
Always try with you by my side
You can show me how to glide
And I will do it with pride
Don’t you fly away my little King Fisher!!
Don’t leave me alone here
As the wind whisper love songs in my ears
I need you here by my side
Telling me everything will be all right
As you tumble down to my feet
I watch you quietly
With a tear upon my face!!
As you fly away in grace!!
