A Broken Fragment

“Each experience is locked within my heart and only I hold the key..." A tiny bird trapped and longing to be free To fly amongst those vibrant clouds To finally shun away from dark deep doubts... Of not being there, of being so far away In those last days that she would silently pray~~ To see my face and feel my arms And hold me tenderly and smile at my charm""" And tell me stories of young and old Though I have heard it a million times, as she has told But alas I was aiming too high Had no time to love or sigh Until the day the fateful call came And in a flash from two, one I became.......... 21/08/2011 By Tahera Mannan For Constance “A Fragment of Life” contest

this one is mysterious. WHo is the little bird? I might be interpreting it wrong, but I see it as a mother/daughter thing. Did I get it right? Or was it a love poem? It's very pretty, Tahera.
