Song Bird

Love, at first sight, 
is what happened between me and you.
You had beautiful big eyes brighter than the sun,
in a golden brown crib with a white cloud 
is where you stayed daily and nightly.

A bird with a string,
that looked just like me,
spun above your head and sung you to bed.
Every night smiling so brightly, listening to it,
and closed your eyes to go to sleep. 

One early morning,
a day I will never forget,
is the day I tried singing like the fake.
And to me, it wasn't great,
but when I looked towards your window,
there you were with your beautiful big eyes with a bright smile,
staring straight at me.

So I made a promise to myself,
that every day,
to see you wake,
I would sing a tune just for you.

Every day of your life,
till you fly out of your nest,
I watch your wings grow,
and no matter what,
I will sing to you.
Sincerely, your songbird.
