Caged Love

Cages were not built for trying to hold onto a love you fear to lose No matter how pretty they maybe covered gold and decorated leaves Shining bright in filigree from within Nobody wants to be locked up in a cage So set them free and watch them fly again And you will marvel at their beauty and their grace And wherever they go and whatever they do They'll come back to you Because you allowed them to be free Set aside your own insecurities You let them explore everything that's out there Let them open new doors they've never been through before And if you told them they are are wanted and always welcomed Right back here at home They will always return Because you gave them what you yearned Their freedom from the cage.

I am always telling children to let their friends "go" when they are stolen by others, the good friends will soon return.

Very true. It especially makes me think of parents needing to let go of their adult children
