Fly Free
She hopped to the lowest limb, clinging tightly trembling with fear.
Watching closely that dreaded one who’s always lingering near.
He stared at her with cold green eyes, and mocked her pitiful cry.
In his awful stalking way, he dared the bird to fly.
If she tried if she failed, she knew all would be lost.
The very thought drove her mad, she could not bear the cost.
The day wore on, night drew near, she knew she didn’t want to die.
She couldn’t hang on here forever, she was gonna have to try.
With pounding heart and fluttering wing, she cast her lot to the air.
Much to his and her surprise, she soared without a care.
She knows now and he knows now, her safety is the sky.
Don’t sit and wait in pain and fear, all you have to do is fly.
