The locked bird

Locked in a golden cage 

A song bird was I,

I saw the sky a piece of light,

But I could never fly.

My eyes were blind,

In the dark,

My wings broken and weak,

I tried to hit the metal bars,

With my slender beak,

A friend came like a sudden storm,

And opened my cage door,

With maddening joy,

I flapped my wings ,

To see the world more.

But my wings were weak ,

Withered and old,

Broken with the age,

I could never fly again,

So I went back to the cage
