My sweet Canary

My sweet canary just loves to sing, with his yellow beak and golden wing. His lovely songs will make you shake, all other tunes will sound a fake. But as I sit and think alone, I feel my heart is made of stone. My precious bird could be my sin, I keep his soul well locked within. For every soul is born so free, I doubt your mind will disagree.

Hello Saleh, Congratulations on your POTW!! Over the years I have thought about the pets that were made to traverse the outside world that are captive for our pleasure. I suppose many of us feel that we are also held captive at times. - Wonderful Read! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Hello Daniel, As much as I love animals and always wanted a canary, the thought of them being captive for my pleasure was too much to handle. And yes you are right, we are all held captive in our own world. Thank you my friend. Saleh
