I Sing a Weeping Song

Once, I flew meadows happy for the day.  Then, darkness fell over me and
sunbeams went away.  Now, home is a cage.  I sit and sing a weeping song 
stretching out my wings trying to soar away, daydreaming of freedom . . .

                                                                    a bird sweetly free
                                                                    over wild fields fair
                                                                    swaying in the breeze

Rico Leffanta Date: 7/16/2020 2:00:00 PM And yet, many birds are afraid to leave their cage . . . . .Aloha! Rico Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 7/17/2020 1:00:00 PM Rico, I suppose the pet bred birds love their cages and family, but wild birds from meadows, fields and forests belong in the wild in my opinion, thanks for visiting _Constance
