Expression Of Love

There, there you birdie,

I saw you take that bread crump away,

I knew it was you all this time,

Just that I was happy that you weren't hungry. 

Just to be sure,

I kept a few cherries too,

I wished you had them too,

You didn't,

I cried worriedly. 

You didn't disappoint me,

You did come back again,

With something shiny this time,

A brooch, for me,

As a token of thanks,

For feeding you bread every day.

I was happy and cheerful,

That day, 

I caught you red-handed,

Of you showing your love for me.

I wanted to adopt you,

But wanted to see you free,

I wouldn't have caged you,

But anyway, you'll still be always mine.
