Baby Bird

(This is a poem I wrote about a month ago... and I can't think of anything else to post right now, so enjoy this)

Hey, baby bird

Hey, baby bird

At first, your mama raised you well

She taught you how to someday fly

And taught you very well

But, baby bird

But, baby bird

What’s your mama doing to you?

Does she even want you to one day go

And start a life anew?

It seems, baby bird

It seems, baby bird

That your mama wants you forever

No mate, no eggs, no nest for you

Just you and your mama together

Fly, baby bird

Fly, baby bird

Fly from your mama’s nest

She can’t make you stay forever

And sometimes it’s for the best

Go, baby bird

Go, baby bird

And make yourself a home

You’re grown up now, and do you know what that means?

You can start a new life alone

Now, baby bird

Now, baby bird

I know you might be scared

But put your faith in how you were taught to fly

And soon it’ll be freedom that you’ll bear

Please, baby bird

Please, baby bird

Fly away and you’ll be free

Free from your mama’s nest

And full of opportunities

Fly, baby bird

Fly, baby bird

Fly from your mama’s nest

She can’t make you stay forever

And sometimes it’s for the best
