A Free Bird
A bird flew close to some kids
Then it walked to them
The kids got very excited
The little ones were very scared
Mommy came close to it and put her palms up
The bird walked right on them
Comfortably standing there
The kids got even more excited
Around ten kids, all put their palms out
Even the little ones
The bird jumped from palms to palms
The kids and the parents were all smiles and laughter
Some took their cameras out
I thought, this would be my next poem
This was a beautiful scene
The kids said "this is a friendly bird"
I thought, this is a daring bird coming this close to the humans
A free bird
I wanted to take it home, maybe it could teach me a thing or two about life
A bird walked on the road past traffic
I was astonished to see this little bird
Walking so confidently and fearlessly
Like it didnt notice the big machinery and wheels
Like it noticed the danger and all, but it was just a risk taker
I wondered what was wrong with its wings
It didn't look injured
And it wasn't a baby either
Away it continued, walking further into the grass
A free bird
A free heart
