Once Upon A Dream

There once was a baby bird in a thorny nest

The baby cried all day

Then all night

Crying

Crying

Crying,

Its life slipped

Away on those thorny thorns

It cried so much it hardly noticed its new wings

On which never flew

In the vast

Great 

Great 

Great

Sky so blue

The  poor adult bird

To busy crying to escape its own thorns, on its own

With unclipped perfect wings

Perfect for soaring

Away 

Away

Away

To a nest without thorns
