Oh Little Bird

Oh little bird I kept you safe In a cave of branches and leaves With my love and warmth you grew Too big for your shell, into two it cracked Oh little bird under my wing you were nurtured and fed Sang the sweetest songs when you found your voice Time gave you courage to take small flights Failing sometimes, falling to the ground Oh little bird It didn't hold you back You started to experiment, go further Taking bigger risks each time, until Your feathers became tough, you strong Oh little bird it's time to go You are ready, from your nest fly high Soar as far and wide your wings will take you Into the sky above the rainbow
