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
