Caged bird

Like a bird he sits in his caged mind reminiscing what was but is not now 

A faint smile across his face brings a bit of life to now the old wringkled face

When a free bird he'd fly mingled with friends and family most times it soon disappears and he sinks back into his loneliness

The nights he'd crave for hugs and kisses yet hugs his loneliness and kiss his pillow to sleep

His companion the stary night and the moon he'd speak to them in the lonely midnight hour

To cheer him up a phone he purchased with help from his best friend he'd chat online with those nearest to his core

Just after his 57th birthday he flew out of that cage that kept his a prisoner for donkey years

Free at last but hearts he has broken for he will never again be heard and seen 

Goodbye my brother goodbye my best friend rest now in eternal peace
