My Heart
by
Sherene Delgado
I once had a bird.
I protected it so
Eat day I feed it and watched it grow
With time and patience
I waited till the bird was healthy enough to make it on its own
One sunny day I set it free into the world around
And allowed it to live on its own
When the sky grew dark
And the weather grew cold
I looked out my window to see my bird come home
The feathers were dirty
And its face looked sad
Then I knew it finally experience the world like I had.
With mended wounds
I set it free once again
So it can find the happiness I know the world has give
