The Caged Parrot

The bird’s voice still sounds charming,
Though caged, it never stops dreaming.
As human language it once understood,
It has lost freedom of living in the wood.

Hello Charlie Way, yes this is so true. The poor bird lives in a cage. So sad. Merry Christmas. Have a nice day my friend.
