Oh Ye Lil Bird

Oh Ye Lil Bird If ye could have only witnessed The search of your mom's desire To find a safe place to build a nest With the finest twigs available She seeked through the woods In hope to give you a place of rest That you might be safe from danger She cradled your egg in excitement Oh ,the joy of her living life came to be The day you came out that shell She had already gathered food in preparation When you cried out she was there Ready to take on an enemy are To come feed and bring comfort Oh Ye Lil Bird if you could stay this small But you soon notice your wings flapping You learn to jump around in your home While mom was gathering food You would start to stand up on the edge In hope for the day you might fly Mom is never far away and she noticed So she comes to your side to give support Oh Ye Lil Bird the first time you tried Those wings were a flapping with might But only keeping you in circles in downward flight Hitting softly the ground as mom picked you back up Before the enemy could attack and flew you Back home for another try for it takes practice Oh Ye Lil Bird you would not give up the fight I wish you could see the joy in your eyes That day when all that practice come to be That you would soar with the wind beside mom For you have learned the wisdom of these wings And have gained knowledge of who is the enemy That one day you might repeat this life to another
